OCC Minutes Sept. 30, 2014

Program notes.  16 members attending and one visitor.

Four members shot the Rodeo at the Century Links. Paul  Beth,   Ron , and Myers  got  credentials to shoot

and made contact with an assistant who  invited club members to come shoot events that need photographers,

but had no takers.   Cooperating connections can be valuable. The event is sponsored by Knights of Aksarben

who could reciprocate when assisted in such events,  possibly with a sponsorship of our upcoming event in

2015.
N4C info:  29 entries from 7 members
 Nikki had 3 place and 2 hon. mentions  along with 3 merit award winners.  There are 45 entries from 10

members to be judged in October from our club.

Motion was passed to join Monkey survey (30.00) so we could have a survey of the membership as to why members

aren’t entering as many of our own competitions.
Reminder:
If there are categories filled, the last to enter are the first to have pictures set aside, so get entries in

early.
