***Update – Feb 16th Meeting – Canceled***

Posted on by

Since the library was closed on Monday, our meeting will be on Tuesday, the 16th. We’ll be at the Hollidaysburg Library at 7:15pm.

Update: Since the roads were bad this morning, the Library is closed. They have offered to let us in for our meeting, but with the threat of the roads refreezing after dark (especially for our members who live up the mountain) we have decided to call off the meeting tonight. We’ll be back in the Library on March 7th.

Don’t forget that our next meeting is a Member’s Choice presentation night. If you’ve never done one for the club, it’s easy. Simply put 25 or 26 pictures on a CD or thumbdrive and we’ll show the images/slideshows on the 17th. Let’s see some of your recent work. If you want a little extra challenge, you can set up your photos to the “Alphabet Soup” style in which each photo corresponds to a letter of the alphabet.

You can also dropbox a folder to me at brandonhirtphoto@hotmail.com
