President's Message

by Dawn Dingee

Our first meeting was a success, fall is here, the weather is cooler and we even managed to get some rain this past week. So, we have a lot to be thankful for! Many members were able to attend the first meeting and enjoy the wonderful member showcases. Such variety of photos, topics and styles. After the meeting, I sent all members the updated HCC Handbook as well as a listing of the Committee positions with notations of which positions still need to be filled. If you are able to contribute to the running of the club, please let me know. We could use a few more hands to help organize field trips, schedule programs and assist with salon shows. We Need You!!
As discussed, we are looking for some ideas for field trips. With the cool weather, it isa good time to get out and explore with our cameras. Let Lazlo or myself know if you have any ideas and we will send out an email to club members to see if there is interest. Also let us know if there are fall festivals and events you are aware of that you think the club would enjoy to photograph.
At our October meeting, Jeff will provide a photo travel log on Jekyll Island, a Georgia Barrier Island and Cape Cod. The meeting will take place at Noble Horizons. We will likely need to follow the same health check at the entrance (temperature check and a few questions, and masks in common areas and hallway; however, masks are optional in Meeting room itself). For those who attended the September meeting, thank you for your cooperation with this. Lana at Noble was appreciative that we were able to do this. Don’t forget to give Lazlo content for the newsletter. A short article, links to useful information related to photography, Tips, pictures…all are welcome. Hope to see you all at the October meeting! Happy shooting until then.
