2015-05-12 FCDCC Meeting Notes We met in the PAC room at Ridgeview Classical School Ken and Paul were visiting at the meeting, please welcome them. 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 Gerry Cashman at photoeditor@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 also accept short videos for the slideshow. We still have some offices and positions that need to be filled: We need volunteers to help with RCS graduation, email Gary Jens if you can help. We need volunteers for Ridgeview Classical School Graduation, May 23, and for the Graduation Practice, but we don't have that date yet. Please email Gary Jens if you can help.
