1. Election of officers – still time to throw your hat into the ring for vice-president!!. Janet Wallace has agreed to take over the secretary job from Rose Epps. Thank you Janet!

Program: A New Year Invites Us to Reflect
This month’s program is all about “reflection photography.”
It is a safe bet to say you have taken photos using water, a mirror, or some shiny surface to capture the reflection of yourself or some other subject. The January presentation will introduce you to the many ways we find reflections all around us and give you ideas for future photo projects. Several of our club members are participants in a Tuesday morning Zoom meeting dedicated to learning about the Lightroom Classic editing program. These members of the Lightroom Classic Collaboration will lead the program.
Member Photo Share: Theme this month is Holidays
“The holidays are upon us: Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year. So take the camera along and capture some of the visual sights of the season. The possibilities range from holiday lights, decorations, festivals, people, parties, to parades and performances. Or be creative in your interpretations.” – Bill Galloway
