Foto Fun Assessment of Year's Activities

This year the Foto Fun sub-club of the Computer Club sponsored the following activities:
5 Programs 6 Photo Shoots 2 Organizational Meetings

We had 36 members, adding 16 new members to the Computer Club.

The following ideas were solutions to concerns shared and discussed at the meeting:

Next year we will submit thumb drives to Glenn Butler two days prior to a meeting. He will then download all images to one file to be shared at the meeting. This will allow us to view more images in a shorter amount of time. Matted photos can still be submitted at the start of the meeting.

In order to have time for sharing of photos at each meeting, we will begin meetings at 3:30. This should allow us time for announcements, a program and the viewing of club members’ images.

This year we gave an honorarium to three speakers and also a check to La Reinda Ranch. The computer club has agreed to fund us at the same level next season.

We will continue with a mixture of programs and photo shoots. We will, again invite a judge to critique our best photos. A complete list of program ideas and photo shoots were presented, discussed and rated. The following suggestions received the highest ratings and will be the core from which next year's activities will be based.
