Early Message for VVCC Members
Due to a tight time schedule for several events, this newsletter is coming to you early. It will be followed by a pre-meeting newsletter on September 6th.
Our program for the September 9th meeting will be our traditional "What I Did Last Summer." Bring up to six images on a thumb drive that you would like to share and discuss. Please notify Frank Lahman of your intent so he can properly manage the flow for the evening. Jim Frey will also share the images he took at the Pot Luck meeting last June.

Help us make this a great year for VVCC. Bring your ideas & recommendations regarding meeting content, field trips, potential program presenters, etc. The club officers met recently to discuss some changes that we believe will appeal to current and potential participants and those will be shared at the meeting.
This year's Print themes for VVCC: In order to encourage more participation and more creativity we're going to try having more than one theme for most months:
September - Water or Rock
October - Wildlife (not birds) or Wildflowers
November - High Key or Sunrise/Sunset
December - Leading Lines or a Fall Scene
January - Back Lit or Contrast
February - Sense of Scale or Minimalism
March - Action or Frozen

The objective of the Council is to coordinate and promote camera clubs, Photographic Society of America (PSA) and other photographic activities of interest to camera clubs and their members.
