OCC Minutes November 18, 2014

Marty reported waiting to hear back from The Omaha Home for Boys chief operating officer for final approval

of our 2015 calendar.

Paul discussed taking yearbook photos for the OHB;  Nikki proposed that some young men there might want both

indoor and outdoor photos.  We could have some members do indoor and others do outdoor.  Paul will get more

information on the yearbook requirements.

N4C:  We had 42 entries from 9 members.

There has been a request for an image of an old building, the Old Polish Home, in South Omaha at 25th and L

Streets.  Sandy Wentworth volunteered to take it and send it to George Sinos.

Nikki handed out the judges individual scores from the November print contest.  She pointed out that the 3

columns of scores are as follows:  1st column is composition, 2nd is technique, and the 3rd is impact.  The

judge was consistent across the board as well as in each category in his scoring,  but he did give lower

scores than other judges we’ve had.

Monday Dec. 8th, at the Elkhorn Metro campus there could be a tour of the photography lab.  Paul will post

this on our site and we may need a headcount of interest.

N4C Issues:  There is the issue of liability at the convention next fall.  Myers Burmeister says we’re not

incorporated and is looking into nonprofit status which could also help in other areas besides liability:

 museum entries, donations, etc.  We could be an educational organizational.   We could use an attorney

($1000) to establish our starus or use legal zoom.   Forms are required by state and federal governments.

Treasurer:  Tim White reported that we have $2,272.43 in our account.  The N4C convention account has

$1,013.66

Tonight’s program is Show and Tell by members.  There is no meeting on November 25th.  The next meeting will

be December 2 with the reveal of the Dec. competition.
