Meeting Location Change!! : Our meeting space has changed. We are no longer able to meet at the Well's location. This month thanks to BJ Vance we will be meeting at St. Johns UMC off Monroe Rd. ( http://tr.im/cpmgnew... : Google Map )

Yes we are in the outside building that is labeled Cambodian Mission.

Meetups:
This meeting is designed to help you get a feel for what we are doing around the area and where you might like to put your participation. We go over the groups last month, and the coming month's schedule, review the assignment (with very mild commentary), work towards having a few quick educational segments, and then we break up for people to meet with other like minded people. During that time you can seek out leaders, SIG facilitators, other camera owners, and talk until you are ready to go, or we have to kick you out. biggrin

Upcoming Meeting Details:

  • Toyraiser: Everyone pays.. a toy (unwrapped). We like giving back and we're asking for you to bring a toy for a child as the entrance fee for the evenings revelry.

  • Pro Contest Results & Assignment Review

  • SPECIAL EVENT - RESCHEDULED FOR JANUARY'S MEETUP : Due to an unexpected family emergency, Casey will be rescheduling her visit and Photoshop tutorial. She is very sorry and disappointed that she cannot be here and had to cancel on such short notice. She has created a video tutorial to hold us over until January's Meetup! You can view this by clicking the link below:

    Mark your calender, as Casey will also be doing an intense 5 hour Photoshop Workshop on Saturday, January 23rd. Details to follow, soon. Casey is a Professional photo retoucher - her clients consist of Victoria's Secret, Elle, Spin, and Vibe, to name a few.

  • Potluck: Annual potluck, bring an appetizer or just yourself. If you are bringing something chime in so we can coordinate a little better. Bring whatever you like, I'm sure we'll like it too!

    Location Details, Addition
    Please be aware of location change, check top of page, we will be at St. Johns UMC off Monroe Rd. We will be using this location for a while, and are still on the hunt for alternatives that we can afford. If you have suggestions please let us know.

      MMM. Sounds like a tasty meetup. I hate that I will be out of town on business. Oh well maybe I'll have some photo opps while in Lynchburg and Roanoke. Have fun!

         This was my second time to a meeting and I enjoyed hearing all the things the group has planned. Everyone was very open and willing to share their knowledge. I look forward to gettng more involved. The toy drive and the pot luck were both excellent ideas!
