President Cindy Taleski thanked the members of the CCC executive, Pat Beaton, Julie Faas, Barb Ferren, Tere Deslippe, Wendy McDonald, Jeff McDonald, Linda Pepper, Mary Craig and Jim Pollock, for their hard work and dedication to The Club.
Over the summer, The Club is planning several get-togethers that we call “Walk-Abouts”, where we will meet at an interesting photo-op and share our techniques for finding worthwhile subjects, achieving proper exposure, and using interesting compositions to attain the best possible result. Times and dates will be announced by e-mail as they approach. Whether you’re seeking mentorship or companionship, please join us when you can.
