Proposed Changes to the Constitution: These proposed changes were
distributed to all members last month.

Dues
Change: MOTION: Article III Membership, Section III.3 shall read:
Dues shall be $15.00 for a household per calendar year and may be pro-rated.
Annual dues may be increased to an amount not to exceed $50 per year by a
majority vote of the membership at a business meeting of the club. The SCSCAI
must approve amounts exceeding $50 per year. The club wanted to
change the dues from $15 per person to $15 per household and avoid the $1 extra
per additional person as is current practice. Adrian Cole pointed out that the
CCOC does not allow "household" membership, requiring that each
person be a member. Sid Goldstein, who
had been on the board confirmed that this was why our dues evolved into $15 for
the first household member, and $1 for the additional member, though that was
not reflected in the Club Constitution. This motion is tabled until the board can bring the language into compliance with
the CCOCs

Officers
Change: MOTION to amend the club constitution as follows: Article V
Organization, Section V.1 shall read: "Composition: The officers of the
club shall be a president, first vice-president, second vice-president,
secretary, and treasurer, and
at the discretion of the board, up to
two (2) directors at large, and shall be elected each year. (Club must have at
least three officers)." And,
SECTION V.3 shall read "Vacancies: In the absence of the president, the a
vice-president will automatically assume the duties. All other vacancies shall
be determined by a vote of the remaining elected officers." Made,
seconded, and passed unanimously.

Officer
Presiding at Meetings: MOTION: Article VI.6. Board of Directors shall read:
"Board of Directors: The Board of Directors shall consist of the
President, First Vice-President, Second Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer,
and directors at large. In the absence of the President and Vice Presidents,
the President may appoint another member of the Board of Directors to preside
at a monthly meeting." Made, seconded, and passed unanimously.
Field Trip Coordinator Report: (Diane/Dale) - Dale reported that
she and Diane F. got together and developed a calendar of field trips, which
has been approved by the board. The full calendar is attached.
Joyce O'Keefe Described our most
recent Cottonwood Cove/Nelson field trip, showing photo samples what we saw in
both locations. Our club blog has a full article on the field trip and a number
of participants added photos from the trip (www.photography-scslv.club and go
to Posts).
Theme Competition: The Theme for May is BLACK & WHITE.
The winner of this month's
Theme, STILL LIFE: FLOWERS was Marina Jurasek. Her photo of a Columbine in her
garden will be part of the display in the Photo Lab this month.
Techniques and Tips: J provided YouTube videos on techniques of
particular use for our next month's theme (J). We were able to see "The
Best and Worst Ways to Make Your Photos Black & White." The second,
"Exploring Black-and-White Photography," will also be posted on the
website (http://www.photography-scslv.club/search/label/Techniques
).
·
Tech Time: (Dennis) Although members do not need
a Google account to visit the club website (www.photography-scslv.club),
members do need a Google account to upload photos. Dennis again ran through the process.
·
Show & Tell: Once uploaded, Google has some
interesting Editing tools. J showed some examples of how these simple editing
tools can be used for those who don't already use something like Photoshop.
Alternative software was also suggested by members.
Respectfully
submitted, J Filangeri, Secretary
