HOME / ABOUT US / PRESENTATIONS & THEMES / PAST ACTIVITIES

We are photographers of all skill levels who not only share our love of photography but also like to socialize with other like-minded people.

Our meetings are normally held on the 4th Monday of the month unless the Clubhouse is closed for a holiday. We get together at 6:00 pm and members are free to bring their own dinner to eat and socialize before the meeting formally begins. Our meeting runs from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Meetings normally consist of member presentations, short technical tutorials, the Theme of the Month Slide Show and a guest speaker.

Dues are $30 a year from July to July. Anyone joining in other than July will have their dues prorated. Dues can be sent to
