Come to our final meeting of the year !

Hi, all - Our meeting Monday night June 21 will include a great speaker, Stan Stearns, a long-experienced portrait - and other subjects - photographer from Annapolis. You won't want to miss this talk and show.

We'll start with the annual business meeting, which includes election of officers for next season. Jay Alden has headed up the Nominations Committee to get the slate ready to present to members at this meeting. That makes it quick and easy to proceed, and be ready to start the next year in an orderly way. I'll enjoy introducing the officers to you, in case that's not happened yet for you. The new Board will take office on July 1.

After Stan's talk, we'll have some more interesting things to do, including showing and commenting on the "Top Twenty" photos of the year as chosen by your humble president.

It's one time where I get to express my opinions, after listening and learning from others all year and observing so many great photos. By my count, we showed 785 photos not counting the exhibitions, so winnowing them to twenty gets to be a real task. I'm down to 29 on this Sunday evening. It's disappointing to have so much to say about the best photos and yet have to cut further. Maybe it should be 30 next time?

There is still time to join for next year and save $5, at the meeting. When the meeting's over, regular $25 fee applies, and we stand down for the summer, starting up again on Sept 20.

Be sure to come and fill out our quorum needs to make it a valid vote. So we'll see you Monday night at 7. Thanks - you'll enjoy it.

DKD - Pres.
