MEMBERS THE STARS OF THE FIRST MEETING Make Sure You Are a Part of It! Remember your first week back to school? Inevitably, your teacher asked you to write or recite how you spent your summer vacation. Let’s do it one more time. Each member is being requested to submit a digital image to be shown at our first meeting on September 16th. It doesn’t matter whether you travelled to someplace exotic, or just stayed around our own vacationland. Here is your chance to share your photos with the club, and informally tell us a little about them. Or if you wish to just let them speak for themselves, that’s OK too. The important thing is that everyone participates. Bombay or Burgaw, Monkey Junction or Munich, Leland or London - it doesn’t matter. First, the pictures will be shown individually, and you may briefly speak about them. Then, they will be viewed as a slide show with music. I can’t emphasize enough that this is for all members, so please size and submit one picture no later than September 9th. Here’s how to do it: Select the picture Size the picture (1040 wide 768 length, max) Name the Picture (Your last name, a dash, and the title example: Haas-Hoboken Email as an attachment to: photos@capefearcameraclub.org It’s as simple as Apple Pie! And the CUTOFF DATE is SEPTEMBER 9TH.
