February meeting minutes

Meeting Happenings:

During this meeting we hope to cover some cool things.

~ A questionnaire to help us find a direction that will appeal to all levels of photographers.

~ Ideas of how to impress the public with our club and let them know of our existence. So far we have talked about the Chronicle's weekly happenings section, the Fine Arts website, getting a flickr page and getting a blog up and running.

Flickr Page is up and running!

You can post 2 images a day

Outings:

~ Walkabouts... some that were mentioned among some members were a tour of Flatrock Rd. (old houses and barns etc). Rimini SC, the Zoo, The Revolutionary War Park and any ideas you might have.

~ horses, sheep and any other animals and locations always prove interesting.
