Getting Ready 2019-2020 – Sept. 4th Competition Meeting

Our first meeting of the year and competition isn’t too far off!  There is plenty happening  behind the scenes as we get ready for the Club year.  Judge training, fine tuning our electronic equipment, shuffling duties as we get ready for 2019-2020.  There is a lot of information about judging and competitions under the Competition Tab here on the website. You can find our Monthly Assignments, Judging Video, Competition Rules and Guidelines and a printable PDF about preparing entries. Rules For Preparation of Entries for Caveman Camera ClubPreparing.  This year our digital entries will be sent to Dave Church so don’t plug up Russ’s email box by mistake!  Hope you all are out there shooting – I know I’m looking forward to the sharing.  See you soon!

Outstanding Dedication and Service Awards

Outstanding Dedication and Service Awards

It was only a month and half ago that we all got together for the Year End Celebration…..

Our fun evening at the Hive had plenty of laughs, amazing! food and a whole lot of good photography.  Ozzie got some wonderful shots and I thought I’d share the photos of those who were recognized for their Outstanding Dedication and Service that President Jim Heern presented.  These club members have sustained our club in so many ways and all of them for a good long while. We should applaud them each and every month!  and Honorees Thank You once again!  They are as seen in the photos below, Ozzie Cummins, Debbie Jallit, Greg Smith, Nomeca Hartwell, Jim Ingraham, Gene Rimmer, Russ Williamson, Sandi Williamson,  and Darrell Stafford.
