Calendar of Meetings/Programs

September 6, 2019--CLCC Photo Exhibit. Dole Mansion, Crystal Lake. More information forthcoming.

A Note from Grace:

I'm just sending you an extra email about the CLCC Photography Show at the Dole to encourage you to participate this year. The organizational timing is more awkward this year without summer meetings to remind you plus the changes in drop off times due to Labor Day weekend. In order to have a greater impact and reach out to the community making the presence of the Camera Club known, we need participants more than ever. Also, it gives you the opportunity to share your work and there is always the possibility you can make a sale. So, please get your name to me by August 15th and I'll make sure Patty Bell has you one the list for advertising the show. Drop off at the Dole will be Thursday & Friday, August 29 & 30, 2019, 9 a.m. -- 5 p.m. If those dates are not workable for you, let me know & we can make other arrangements. I hope you will be able to join us this year.

September 3, 2019--7pm, Home State Bank, Crystal lake. September club meeting.This is a non-competition meeting, which means we will have a Show & Tell activity. The optional theme is “Images from my summer vacation”. Optional means you don’t have to stick to the theme – any of the photos you share with the attendees will be acceptable, regardless of topic. Up to three photos per person will be accepted and you are welcome to say a few words about each, one of which you can request the audience to critique. You can send jpg files to Rich Bickham ahead of time, or bring them to the meeting on a thumb drive and give them to Rich at the front table prior to start of the meeting.
