2019-04-09 FCDCC Meeting Notes We met in the Eagle 1 room at the Aztlan Center, 112 E Willow Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524 Please welcome Holly who was visiting our club. Please pay your dues for 2019 to Dave Chamness at the next meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. 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. Conceptual Photography - Kai Frawg 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. May meeting challenge topics: "Water" and "Rebirth/Hope". Send your pictures to Walter Lyons at photoeditor@fcdcc.com Please send images (Fix-It-Photos) that you would like everyone to try "Fixing" to Mike Barry at info@fcdcc.com. The April Fix-It-Photo is "New Orleans #1" by Kai Frawg and you can find it on the website. If you don't already have a headshot on the website, please send one to Mike Barry at info@fcdcc.com.

Monique has the old club projector, and it is available for club members to borrow. Fort Collins is competing in the "City Nature Challenge".
