show runs November 11-14. It will open at 9am and close at five pm. All members are

encouraged to participate and to assist with coverage for the show.

New Business

Membership List

The Board reviewed the list. We have 19 members who have paid their dues to date. Linda will

send a final list soon. Carol recently emailed members who haven’t paid.

4C’s Judging March

Quarterly - Individual EID is open- images are sent directly to 4Cs. There is a link on the 4 Cs

website with additional information.

Invitational Club Competition

There are three separate electronic competitions. To participate each club must have: 10 -

Traditional Color, 5 Monochrome and 5 – Altered Reality Images.

If more are received in nay category then, Elise (EID Chair) will decide which images will be

forwarded to 4Cs

December Calendar

• Meeting – First Monday

• Christmas Party: Dec 11, 2021, 5:30 at Elise’s house.

• No Board meeting.

Good of the Order

Don proposes a new category for 4 Ws – “Remember When” - Old pictures of club activities.

Tom suggested that we explore story telling through photojournalism – maybe once per quarter.

This could include pictures that may not be perfect but tell a story. This may take more than the

allowed 5 photos per presentation.

It was suggested that these two types of images could be shared as a Show and Tell. We

discussed suspending the five - image limit and allowing any number of images with 5-minute

limit for each presentation. If we have too many then Carol could roll some over to a subsequent

meeting.

Decision: For now, we will leave the Show and Tell format as is but encourage more

participation.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:02 PM
