c.
Official vote on dues change: For 2017 the board had previously agreed to
continue the long-standing practice of charging $15 for the first family member
and an additional $1 for the 2nd family member, but the club constitution/bylaws
needs to be formally changed. Current
language is, " Dues shall be $15.00 per
calendar year and may be pro-rated." Changes in dues must be presented to
the membership for a vote at a business meeting. Motion made by Dale to recommend a change in the club dues to read as
follows: " Dues shall be $15.00
per calendar year for the first family member and an additional $1 for the 2nd
family member. Dues may be pro-rated." Seconded by Jim and passed
unanimously. This will be presented to the membership at the annual business
meeting and if approved will go into effect January 2018.

Meeting
Agenda & Discussion:
a. Field
Trips – Dale reported that she has been working with Diane Frankenfield, and
presented an extensive list of possible field trip locations. Ideally, Dale
would like responsibility for individual field trips to be delegated to a club
member willing to lead that trip. Jim said he would be willing to lead a Death
Valley wildflower shoot later in the year.
He would also like to plan a trip to Little Finland and possibly St.
Thomas in Lake Meade. January's field trip should be to the Strip for Lunar New
Year. February might be to the Venetian. March might be an outdoors trip.
b. Motion to approve purchase of 24
display stands made by Jim. Seconded and unanimously passed.
c. Presentation
for February –Zane Clark from Computer Club is not available. J will provide two YouTube videos, each about
10 minutes, one on general photography tips and one on taking good phone
photos.
d. Establishing
a refreshments committee & coffee prep for meetings. Jim will ask for
volunteers.
6.
Old
Business
a. July
& August meetings. The board agreed to hold meeting July and August, and
discussed possibly having an evening picnic meeting outdoors for a photoshoot.
7.
New
Business
a. Utilization
of Photo Studio: Dale suggested that we might have a "studio
experience" similar to a field trip once a month. We'll need a volunteer to manage this,
possibly Dean Ottensen.
b. Missing
key: The key to the locked supply area has been lost. J offered to follow up
with SCSCAI to find out whose responsibility it would be to get the door opened
and rekeyed. The board approved calling in a locksmith if needed and obtaining
several additional keys to any new lock.
c. February
9th meeting leadership. Jim will be out of town and has tried to
reach Norm. So far, no response.
d. Raffle:
The board agreed to discontinue the raffle.
e. Meeting
Agenda: Membership meetings should be following a fairly set agenda as
described in the 12/26 minutes. J will send out a general membership meeting
agenda to everyone just for information.

members.
