President's Announcements
· PHOTO CONTEST: Sun City Administration, which
has approved our contest flyers and announcements in The Link, has suddenly
decided that we can't hold a contest in conjunction with the show, insisting
that there's no documentation that members approved the contest. Motion to confirm member support for
holding a photo contest during the Photo Show on Saturday, November 11th. open
to all Sun City Residents. Seconded. One member voiced concern
that it would not be clear that contest photos weren't all by members. It was
pointed out that the contest will be in a separate area of the hall from the
show, also that the goal here is to promote what the club does to resident non-members
and encourage Sun City resident photographers to join the club. Motion passed
with 1 dissenting vote.
PHOTO SHOW: Saturday, We will need volunteers to
help set up/tear down. Bring photos on any subject you wish to exhibit to next
month's meeting for the November 11th show, 10AM-3PM at DV. This is the required format -
- § 8 x 10 or 11 x 14 preferred
