"Our Trip For Amanda"

Minutes
of the Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs April 24, 2006
Presiding was Mike Hess, Vice President as Kevin Stroble was unable to
attend do to his mother’s illness. Thirteen (13) people were in attendance.
New folks were welcomed and introduced.
Show Committee Report- the current show “Members Only” opened on
April 7, 2006 with approximately 75 folks in attendance. Pictures will be
critiqued after the business meeting. All entrants will need to make
arrangements to pick up their pieces at the next meeting on May 22nd.
Much appreciation was expressed to all who brought food and drink. The club
provided a sandwich tray from Wegmans and carious wines. Next show will be in
late November thru January and will be a juried show open to all. The show
committee will continue to meet on the 2nd Monday of the month at the
Coffee and Tea Room across from the Community Arts Center with the purpose of
coordinating this next show.
The Show Committee also discussed a possible June photo seminar. This had
been delegated to the committee by Kevin and had to do with a ˝ day hands on
digital workshop on a Saturday where the public would be invited. The first part
of the seminar would be a hands on
in the field demo and the second part would be a viewing of photos taken using
our digital projector. Suggested topics were basic digital photography, depth of
field and several more. Members expressed interest in the event and thought this
would be a good way to attract new members. All were encouraged to attend the
next show committee where details would need to be worked out.
Old Business- Three plastic garbage cans were purchased by the museum as
per our suggestion. The club had agreed to pay for them at a previous meeting. A
suggestion was made that perhaps cloth or plastic skirts could be made to cover
the grey cans during show openings. The cans were used at this month’s show
opening.
New Business- Member Bruce Dart will be the judge at this year’s art
competition at the “Apple and Cheese Festival”
in Canton in early October. Next month’s program will be China shots by
Wayne and Pam.
