I’ve uploaded the meeting agenda as a reference to our club events calendar and to give absent members a review of our club’s activities.
We are quickly coming to the end of the year. At our next meeting on November 19, the club will elect two new board members. Current nominations for our Board of Directors:
Anne Mullins – Our Activities Coordinator and currently serving on the board
Pam Walton – Our Membership Coordinator
The nominations are open to any club member. If you would like to run for the board please contact me at president@kwphotoclub.com to add your name to the ballot.
I’d like to also thank Connie Emerson who is leaving the board for all her years of service for the club. Connie has worn several hats over the years as Membership Coordinator and Program Coordinator. As Program Coordinator, she has provided us with month after month of outstanding programs. She and David will continue as members but taking a back seat and letting others get involved with our club. Thanks to Connie and David for adding your talents and time to make our club what it is today.
Our final workshop for 2019 is scheduled for November 9th. This is an open panel discussion on photographic equipment. Chuck calls this “The Photographers Wishlist”. Chuck will moderate with the remaining panel to talk about the specific photographic equipment and apps they use for different types of photography. This will include portraits, macro, wildlife, landscape. It should be an interesting discussion and we hope participants will get ideas for that special Christmas gift or stocking stuffer to make any photographer jump for joy.
A few more activities for 2019. November 2 a revisit to Glenwood Cemetery and Houston Murals. The first visit was during the heat of summer and humidity. Sunrise will be at 7:30 so we are hoping to get to Houston by 7 AM to catch the sunrise over Houston. Afterward, we’ll find a few more murals to photograph and possibly the Astro’s murals that are currently being created. If interested please sign up under events/activities > field trips.
December we will have our 3rd Annual Santa Shoot! This has been well received by our community and is great fun to participate in. Chuck is waiting to hear what date and will be sending out information soon. Finally, with 2020 just around the corner, Anne Mullins will be holding a 2020 Activities Planning meeting. If you would like to join her group, have a great idea for a field trip, please contact her at events@kwphotoclub.com.
The next meeting is on November 19th! One of our own, Chris Summers, will be presenting “Food Photography”. Share and Learn assignment “What is in your Backyard”! More on that in the next post. Our holiday social will be held on December 17. As in the past, the club will provide the meat and members attending bring the extras (salad, rolls, drinks, side dishes, desserts). And, for your entertainment, we will have a video of select share and learn photos and events and activities. It should be fun and hope you can arrange to come and possibly have a photo taken.
A final thanks to all our members who helped with this month’s meeting. Refreshments by Dale Barrack, Bill Staney, David Emerson and Margaret Malloy. And thanks to our door greeter Mike Dunderdale.
