“ Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow. – Imogen Cunningham
Christmas Party at Stonegate
The time is coming up fast for our December meeting! The good news is that you can have the rest of the month to plan and decorate for Christmas and all those great winter shots you have been waiting all year to do!
Our meeting is TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1 at the Stonegate Country Club in Davis. This is our Christmas Party and Member Contest!
Rule one: Bring food for the potluck! And then submit your work to see who gets to take home the great plaque for the year. If you think you are going to pry it out of my cold dead hands, oops wait, I mean, I welcome you to bring your best shots. You can bring up to six (6) prints or digital media. So you can bring two (2) prints and four (4) media, or four (4) prints and two (2) media or what ever makes you have a maximum of six. Please submit all digital media to Carol Grench by Sunday, November 30. She needs a few minutes to get everything prepared for the show. Bring your prints, framed or matted or bonded to foam core ready to the meeting.
We are going to have a judge that does not know your work, so it will be an even competition!
Rule number two: The club is going to provide the main dish, I think the chicken won out again, but Susan will be ordering that and bringing it to the meeting. We are responsible for the great side dishes.
So, let's see: A-G: Salads, H-M: Veggies and Sides, N-T: Breads and U-Z Desserts. Now if that really does not work in your schedule, well it is Christmas and it is a potluck, so bring something good. That's the rule, we just can't change that.
We will be having dinner at 6:45-7:30, Viewing of the Prints and Digital Media to follow and Judging to end the evening. We need to start cleaning at 9:30 at the latest and out by 10.
Bring your cameras so that we can have club photos for our website of what a fun and happy group we are! Oh yeah, watch out for the ducks!
Keep track of the emerging Fall color in the Sierras! The map is updated, and the site also has shooting tips for Fall color spectaculars.

Teaching Opportunity Provides Chance
for Membership Opportunity
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is looking for volunteer instructors to tach photography skills. If you want to feel wonderful, take advantage of this opportunity to have people rave about you!
I look at it as an opportunity for new members to join our great club of pretty nice people. If you are feeling unsure, find another member and convince them to co-teach with you! That way, the strengths of both people can be brought forth to a group of people who have the availibility of time and eagerness.
Below is the request from our member Jan Bower. Please think well about this and at least talk to her about it. You never know where this may lead you. Some of the best adventures have leaf covered trails!
I am on the Curriculum Committee for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), and we are very anxious to have an instructor(s) do some courses on photography for our spring session. OLLIis a membership group of seniors in Davis led and directed by unpaid volunteers and administered by the University of California at Davis Extension. Its mission is lifelong learning for pleasure. Generally the classes are four-week sessions, one day per week and two hours per session (but this can vary). The classes are primarily held in three venues: Davis Art Center on F Street, Eleanor Roosevelt Circle on Cantrill Drive, and Unitarian Universalist Church on Patwin. Instructors volunteer their service to OLLI. There is no compensation except for out-of-pocket handouts or materials used in the course. I know this sounds like a lot of work with no compensation, but as any of the present and former instructors will tell you, It's a lot of fun and very gratifying to experience the enthusiasm and pleasure the seniors get out of taking these courses.
If someone in the club is interested in giving a course on photography, have them contact me by phone, email or snail mail with their ideas.
Thank you very much.

Keynote Presentations By: This year's Summit in Reno will be one of the most unique Summits NANPA has ever produced. It's not just that we changed the name of the event to Nature Photography Summit to better reflect our offerings, but also that we have decided to add more value and networking opportunities to the revamped schedule. The Summit will hold many firsts :
Of course, this will take place in Reno, Nevada, where the sun shines for over 300 days of the year. The John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino Resort is looking forward to our stay and will be providing free internet, free parking, and an airport shuttle service, as well as green practices throughout the property. Welcome Reception Tuesday evening - one of the best places to start networking. You may have met many NANPA members online, but the Summit--and the Welcome Reception in particular--is your chance to meet them face-to-face. Who Should Attend |
