OCC Minutes August 12, 2014

Meeting Called to Order:  at 6:35 by president Trish Place.

September Schedule:  To assure that there is plenty of time for the September judging, we will have “show and

tell” at the first meeting on Sept 2, and the judging reveal at the third meeting on Sept 16th.  September

contest files should be sent to Myers Burmeister mcburmeister@gmail.com by this coming Sunday Aug. 17th.

  The assigned subject is “Steps”.  Remember to double check the contest rules for this year on our OCC

website.  The new rules are more in sync with the N4C rules.

Treasurer’s Report:  Dues are due - $25 per single member and $35 per family.  Please pay dues to Tim White

at the picnic on Saturday, August 16th or as soon as possible.   Our club bank balance is $2173.93 as of July

9th.

Equipment:  All equipment is accounted for:  Tim White has the scanner and Dhruba has the color monkey.

Judges needed:  Trish sent around a sign up sheet for judging this year’s contests.

Picnic:  Trish recirculated the sign up sheet to bring food to the picnic.  Trish can’t be there so we need a

volunteer to be at the site from 10:00 – 2:00.  Please remember there are no trash cans there and we need to

take our trash out with us.

Picnic Activity:  Dhruba proposes we spend 30 minutes shooting photos at Werner park after eating.  These

pictures would be shown at the next show and tell.  Subjects could be trees, birds, people fishing, kids,

plants and flowers, bugs, butterflies, food, vehicles, graphic elements.  Dhruba assigned members to lead

small groups shooting the various subjects.

N4C Conference in Hudson, Wisconsin sept. 11 – 13th.  Ina Ohnmeiss will attend and bring home the awards

given to our OCC members in the N4C judging of “the best of the best” for the year.

Iowa State Fair:    Ribbon winners were Mike Barker and Nikki McDonald.  Larry had 2 photos displayed which

was an honor because only about 20% of all entries are displayed.

Change of Meeting Site?  We’d like to consider moving our meetings to the Millard Library, but postponed

further discussion until September 2nd.

Tonight’s Program:    Show and Tell
