1 April 2017 The club meets at the Hudson Senior Center, 29 Church Street, Hudson MA on the first and third Wednesdays of each month except July and Aug. Meetings begin at 7:30 PM Next meeting: April 5 th. We will be doing the voting on the scavenger hunt images. Please bring a pen/pencil, and a clip board or something to write on. We do have clip boards but not enough to go around. A small (like a pen light) flash light is also recommended so you can see your scoring sheet. NOTE: The voting for the scavenger hunt may not take long to complete due to the number of images received. So, to make it a normal length meeting we will be showing The 2016 Ocean State International Exhibition Accepted Images multi-media presentation. The top 30 percent of images submitted to this International Salon will be shown. Seven AVCC members had their images accepted into the show. Everyone will enjoy seeing this presentation. It will last less than hour, so we hope to be able to fit it all in. Next competition meeting: April 5 th. Scheduled subjects: Prints Open Digital Open Digital assigned subject Nature 1

2 ANNOUNCEMENTS AVCC June Banquet Program Before you know it, June will be here and that will be the end for the club year. We don t want everyone s camera s collecting dust over the summer, So we are asking everyone to suggest some favorite places where they Like to take pictures, and to submit them, so that we can have a presentation. The pictures just need to show the location and what you could expect to see there. They do not need to be competition images, that can wait until Sept. We would like to see a nice blend of local, an hour away, a few hours, etc. locations. At the June Banquet we will compile a list of the locations, and how to get there, how far from Hudson, etc. It can be anything from Sturbridge Village, were there are tons of photo ops, To there is an interesting Old barn down the road, or a rusted old car sitting in the woods somewhere. We could use some of these sites for field trips during the summer for those who are interested. When you have something, please me the images, location, and any narrative you would like. When we do the presentation, you can talk about the locations you suggested if you like. 2
