We welcomed Rob’s neighbor, Tom MacElroy to our meeting. He enjoyed the scavanger hunt and we hope he will become a regular participant!


Old Business:


- Programs for 2005-2006 were handed out. It was noted that there are several programs that need a speaker. Rob Fisher will take on the June program on photographing fireworks. The only speaker we need is for the March program on weather photography. Any volunteers out there!!!!!!

- Two thank you notes were received. Shirley Murtha,the winner of our sponsored award in the Holcomb Farm Art Contest and Mary Alice Stielau , from the arts committee, wrote to thank the Camera Club for sponsoring the award.

New Business:

- Rob Fisher updated us on the options available for a Camera Club web site. He has designed a blog site for our club and has assigned a free web site for the Camera Club through Cox. I will ask him to send us a fuller explanation, web links and how we should use this to keep our selves informed as to the activities of our club. Thanks Rob for your leg work…I think this is really a wonderful addition to our club’s ability to communicate and generate interest from others.

- Key Words for November’s Scavenger Hunt:

Warm, Splash, Odd, Reflect, Soft


- Field Trip for November:
Beaver Lodge in Pleasant Valley. The date and time is still to be decided. Rob will lead us there and we will communicate on our blog site as to what dates and times work for most of us. He feels we should to go early on a Sat or Sun to catch the beavers at their best!

Thanks Rob,
I was really getting frustrated because I could only respond to a previously posted message. By the way, I deleted the two previous attempts that I made and inadvertintly deleted your email address. Could you re-send it to me at matheny1@cox.net. I do not have the names, phone numbers, and emails, stc of the camera club-they must have gotten lost this summer.

Information Sharing

Hi Camera Club Members,I enjoyed the meeting last night - sorry that I was late. I just wanted to share a couple of things...First, I have about 12 photos exhibited at the new Artisans Showcase in North Granby which used to be the old Allen Cider Mill Flower Shop at the intersection of Rt189 and Mountain Road. There are many, many other really nice things also on display there. Please stop by and check it out. Secondly, I wanted to share the link to my online gallery at Nikonians.org. I have over 300 photos in the gallery. The link is http://www.nikonians-images.com/galleries/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=12017.
