Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for a 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 outing schedules to info@fcdcc.com so I can add them to the website. Send your photograph submittals (corrected fix-it-photos, club outings, challenge topics, or your favorite images) to Walter Lyons 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 Walt has time to create the slideshow. We also accept short videos for the slideshow. We will not have a meeting in December, we will have our Christmas Party instead. The party will be at CB&Potts on Horsetooth on Tuesday 12/11 from 6pm to 9pm. Cost will be about $25/person. Please email up to 6 pictures to Walt photoeditor@fcdcc.com for the party slideshow. We need a games coordinator for the party, if you are interested please contact Monique info@fcdcc.com.
