This month is our Christmas social evening. We are repeating last year’s approach and assisting the Food Bank. 

You know that we are trying to be more connected to the community and with that in mind we are asking that you, if you are able, bring a donation for the Food Bank.  The Food Bank prefers receiving money and they have excellent buyers.  Nick Bosma will have a collection box for cash and cheques.  Please make cheques to the Food Bank.

The club is providing coffee, tea and snacks.

We do not have a speaker and will have a short business review followed by slideshows of the field trip to the Bowser Antique Yard, the Emotion assignment. We will also show the Best of 2017 images that our members have sent in.

This is a reminder to upload your assignment photos to the member database by the 20th.

Cabela’s is a sporting goods store that has lots for everyone.  You will see taxidermied animals (I asked and none were killed just for the display), sporting good items of all shapes and sizes, Christmas displays and you may even see Santa Claus.  The only request they have is that you don’t take photos of the employees or prices of items.

Lunch will be at 12:30 at Lantzville Village Pub

Slideshow Night – The new year meeting is going to be quite exciting with slideshows from many of our members.  This past year our members have traveled and will be sharing their memories.  The last slideshow night was a huge success.

If you are planning to add a slideshow, please contact Jack Harynuk – technical.opc@gmail.com

You can send your slideshow in using wetransfer.com

To submit a slideshow, you pick the + sign to locate the file, fill in the fields and click Transfer.  It can take up to 10 minutes to send the show, depending on its size and your upload speed to the Internet.

Before the show gets going, we’ll get the club business out of the way, then see the results of the assignment, the field trip and our favourite shots from December.

There will be coffee and tea at $1 but bring your own popcorn!

NOTE:  New Day and Time

We are trying to make our outings available to more people so we will be trying some Saturdays and some Sundays  with either morning or afternoon times.  If you have any suggestions about days and times please let me know in person or in an email.

Join for a great time at the Errington fire Hall.  There will be lots of opportunities to take photos of the trucks and the safety equipment that make it up as well as other things in the fire hall.  You may even get to take a photo of a fireman or two – with permission.

Lunch:   Noon at Trails End Restaurant

1548 Grafton Ave,  Errington  (near the service station and 4 way stop)
