Omaha Camera Club
 
Minutes 8.9.11

Welcome to the third and final summer meeting of the Omaha Camera Club. Twenty seven members and three quests present.

The club picnic is scheduled for noon on Saturday, August 20th at Chalco Hills. Trish Place will go to the lake early on Saturday and locate a picnic spot for us. Mark Kresl will prepare the BBQ brisket - if you are planning to attend the picnic and were not able to be at the meeting let Mark know so he has a correct head count. Family, friends, prospective new members - one and all are welcome.

September digital competition images are due now - assigned subject is architecture. Judges will be Larry Headley, Mark Kresl, Tim White and myself. Check the web site for the “how to” information on submissions. Don’t forget we have only four categories this year - Nature, PJ, Assigned and Anything Goes.

Mel is well underway preparing the 2011/12 program/speaker schedule. He is also collecting digital images for competition at the N4C level. Contact Mel with your ideas for programs or potential speakers.

Print judges - After presentation by Tim White and club discussion a motion was made by Mark Kresl that the hired print judge by paid $40.00 per competition. Second by Guy Rish - all in favor. We will have two print competitions and possibly one digital competition that will be judged by a person not a member of the club.

Trish Place announced a photo-op for interested club members. On Monday, August 22nd the Boy Scouts of America are holding a fund raiser at the Omaha Country Club Golf Course. Teams will begin registering at 11am with a shot gun start at 1pm. If interested contact Trish.

This evening is “Show and Tell”. Gary Prill presented the Club 85th Anniversary Book (with wonderful music). The details for purchasing the book may be found on our web site. Also, anyone that would like to purchase a DVD of the book may contact Gary. Huge THANK YOU GARY for all the time and talent you put into our book! Motion made by George Sinos, second by Guy Rish that a printed copy of the book be purchased and place in the club library.

Cookie Monster - Paul Evans. Thank you Paul.




Meeting adjourned at 8:30pm.
