Eclectic Visions Update:  I met with Razali of Gallery8 and have the contract signed. We will change our meeting that month to June 7th, so we can meet and discuss our work that is hanging in the show. 

May - in-person meeting at the library will have a slideshow showing the images we are exhibiting.   We will also go through the logistics for sitting the show.  I will be sending another email out to ask for volunteers to help with the planning stages of this annual show.

If we could get a number of people that would like to show in Eclectic Visions by the end of February, mid March latest. I will send out a submission form regarding the number of pieces and sizes. Price will stay the same $70 per person.  You can also enter photo cards and shrink wraps.

There will be an opening with food and wine.  If someone is interested in helping out with the planning please let me know. 

Sign up will be through signup genius, as this worked out very well last year.

If you get too many signup genius emails, you can always unsubscribe from them.

BC/Yukon Series Update:  February 24 - Dianne Bos - Alternative Photography Techniques, April 14 Craig Blacklock - Light Waves

Our club is hosting the April series and we share a slideshow of our best photographs from the club before the series begins and during intermission.  Zoom will say it starts at 7pm but you can go on before that time and watch the slideshow.  The speaker comes on at 7:00pm. 

Important: Pierre will be collecting the photographs before March 1st.  He will be organizing our slideshow for that event and will be sending reminders as we get close to the date.  Please set aside at least 6 of your favourite and best photographs to send to Pierre by that date.
