2015-01-13 FCDCC Meeting Notes We met in our usual room at Ridgeview Classical School Please welcome Chuck and Steve who were visiting our club and joined at the meeting. Please pay your dues for 2015 to Harry Strharsky at the January meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for each additional spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. Dues are prorated based on the month you join. Check out the SIGs (Special Interest Groups); they have been holding lots of meetings and going on lots of outings. Participating in a SIG is an excellent way to develop your skills. Please send your SIG outings schedules to info@fcdcc.com so I can add them to the website. Send your photograph submittals for the February meeting to Gary Jens at president@fcdcc.com. Remember to send in before and after versions of your pictures so we can learn about post processing. Please send in 3 or fewer pictures for the slideshow, and send them by Sunday evening so Gary has time to create the slideshow. We still have some offices that need to be filled: The February Challenge Topic is the Great Western Sugar Company Effluent Bridge. Take a picture of this bridge and email it to Gary Jens for the February club meeting slideshow. We didn't decide on a Challenge Topic for March yet, but "Horsetooth Rock" and "Trimble Court Alley" were suggested. Send your suggestions for challenge topics to Gary Jens at president@fcdcc.com. We have new rules for submitting images for the monthly meetings. Stern Park in Littleton is a great place to take pictures of ducks.
