PRESIDENT'S  MESSAGE

The month of November and the year are quickly coming to an end and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the Executive Board, Coordinators, and members for your support and help to me and the club throughout 2016.   

As we finish out the year, we have a very busy schedule for the month of December.  Please contribute to the club by taking advantage of these opportunities to practice your photography.  By doing go you will show our thanks to the City of Oviedo and local non-profit organizations for their support of our club.  Providing photographers at city events is why the City generously provides our meeting space in the Cultural Center.  It is the season of giving so please give of your time and talent, volunteer for an event and help us give back to the Oviedo community.

Please see the list of events and activities below and use the links to RSVP for one or more events.  Don't forget to RSVP for our Christmas Party and December Field Trip as well.

Given the busy holiday season we are combining our third Monday meeting with our December Field trip.  We will be going to the Sculpture Garden located in Lake Concord Park between the Casselberry Municipal buildings and the Casselberry Art House.  The garden is lighted for the holidays and there is a boardwalk along the West Side of Lake Concord.  We will meet at the Garden at 6:00 pm, take photos until around 7:30 then find someplace to have dinner.

CASSELBERRY ART HOUSE EXHIBIT - JANUARY 2017

Thanks to all who've already committed to the January show.  This is a big event and opportunity for the club and we want to make sure everyone who wants to participate gets an opportunity to do so.  We've decided to extend the deadline to commit until November 27th.  Photos must be nicely framed or canvas wrapped and they can be up to 2' x 3' in size.  You can put in from one to at least five photos and possibly more.  The responses received will determine the final number you can hang.  The photos must be delivered to the Art House on January 3, 2017 but if you'd like, you may drop off your photos and the release form during the Christmas party at Susan's house and we will deliver them for you.

If you are showing photos at the Casselberry Art House and have not received a release form please email the club.  You must fill out the entire form including the titles of the photos, the size, the medium (photography) and the price you will accept for it.  You must also fill out the waivers on the last page of the form and drop it off with your photos.
