Greetings Fellow Photographers!
The Camera Club year was successfully launched on September 3. It was great to see so many
attendees at the first CICC meeting of the 2015-16 year; we missed you if you didn’t attend!
WELCOME to new members: Walt Huffaker and Dianna Mick and to returning members: Cherie
Souharada and Kaylene Rouse. If you were not at the meeting, it is not too late to renew your
membership or to encourage friends to join us for the current club year. Club dues can be paid at
the October meeting.
It is with sadness that we acknowledge the death of Tom Knight, a founding member of the
CICC. Tom was an expert photographer, judge and woodworker.
Our first contest of the year will be conducted at our next meeting on Thursday, October 1. This
contest will be an OPEN contest; members are welcome to enter five images: up to 2 B/W prints,
2 color prints, 2 B/W digital images, or 2 digital color images of your choice. A limit of only two
images in each category up to a total of FIVE total images is allowed. PLEASE submit digital
entries on line to Jim Svec at jlsvec@gmail.com by September 28 (Monday)! PLEASE submit
prints to Jim Davis before 6:45 the evening of the contest!
Judges assigned for the October contest are: Amy Snyder, Denise Isaacson and Ed Siems.
Other contests which may be of interest to you:
N4C contests are open to all CICC members. Each month prints and digital images may be
submitted to Jim Svec by the tenth of the month (bring them to our monthly meetings).
