Kudos to Bill.  He did a wonderful job today of hosting the Cowichan Valley Camera Club on our behalf.

The whole day went smoothly.  Our guests were both pleased and thankful.

Fifteen SS club members are now looking forward to visiting Cowichan Valley in two weeks.

 1.  Opening remarks:  Curt (El Prez) gave a wonderful big pat on the back to the membership (that’s us) - for all of the member’s activity over the summer --- we were showing everywhere and the images were commented on favourably by locals and visitor’s alike.  Our work even inspired many to pick up their camera’s again to play…. Mission accomplished all….. well…

Sam Lightman of the Club showed his work this way last year.

October is our month to exhibit at the Country Grocer, and as previously published, Margaret Benmore had requested the whole show for her images, she is scheduled to do that. I have planned to do the hanging on Sunday , September 30, 2012 at 7:00 PM and will be there to assist, as always.  

I had planned a trip to the raptor center for interested members but unexpected events have prevented me from doing this. I also noted that some members that had shown an interest have gone on their own anyway. Visiting the center is very simple and there is no actual "special benefit" to a "group" visit other than the wonderful camaraderie we have with each other, but I encourage anyone who wants to visit there to just do so. If I get a chance I will go, and communicate that with a blog,…

Check out the wonderful article about our own Ernie Westlund in this week's issue of the Driftwood.

My secret tonight in getting two shots in our site was to put the first one in about 5 minutes to midnight and the second one in about 5 minutes after. I still need to witness someone do it the other way.

Tomorrow should be another day for photo ops in the harbor - don't miss it!
