2. Rob will coordinate a picture display at the Granby Library. We can use the new frames and mats that were purchased.
3. Kelly Lane would also like a picture display. It was decided we would set that up after the Library display, using the same frames. How often we change the pictures is up to the club. Paula will coordinate. We plan to put up pictures before September.

New Business:
1. Rob will organize a field trip to the McLean and Enders Falls.
Program:
Using the new criteria for evaluation sheet that Peter designed we broke up into four groups. Each group was given a photo from the Simsbury Calendar and we judged it using the evaluation sheet. Each group reported its decision to the others and theere was lots of good conversation. It was an excellent way to really study a photo and we all felt it would help us as we take our shots. Thanks Peter for a job w ell done!
