OCC Minutes June 16, 2015

OCC Meeting called to order at 6:30 by Tom Pfeffer vice president. Myers Burmeister current president is traveling for work.

We tried to skype Myers in but it timed out and we moved on with the meeting.

Tom, stated that Myers was traveling and that we will be cutting the meeting short as we need a fun evening since last month the entire meeting was taken up with N4C Conference business.

Guests – Rob he has been here before a year or so ago and is becoming a new member

August 15^th is our Annual Club Picnic at Lake Manawa park. Thank you Linda Davis for obtaining this location.

Linda and Tom will be visiting camera clubs to boost the attendance for the Focus on Omaha N4C Conference in September.

New Business:

Incorporated as Nonprofit Organization. The bylaws are signed right or wrong they can be amended. The 501C(3) is to be overnighted to the IRS by Dave Wilson the attorney.

Focus on Omaha – we have dropped the breakfast and lunch options and lowered the cost to $159. OCC Members cost will be $80.

Don Cross had suggestions for the website and the board gave him a 100% go ahead with the web changes.

We need to reconstruct our history – Larry Headley took the old club minute books and said he would make this a “winter project” if no one else is willing to do this.

We should obtain a “media guru” to take care of the FB, OCC Website, Printrest, Twitter so we can attract more of the under “30” crowd to our club.

WWWWH – Who, What, Where, When , Why, How – we should all be talking about this and explaining to people about the Focus on Omaha Conference

Dropped off additional materials to Rockbrook and the employees did not know about the conference. Tom offered to do a quick educational session but has not heard back from Chuck.

Now on to the fun of seeing photos for show and tell…..
