Sue ran the meeting
Secretaries Report– Sue checked that people at the meeting are receiving the minutes, and will add our new visitors to the distribution.
Treasurers Report. Larry was not present. He emailed balance $1347.76
Report on Olivedale Show – Misty – We made $263 with the raffle ticket sales. 171 visitors over three days were counted. 63 people attended classes, with approximately 15 people at each class, and 17 club members displayed their work. Misty thanked everyone for their donations and stated that we still have gift cards for use at our next show.
Our next show is the Library show. The theme is Beyond the Beaten Path and we will be hanging the show on May 17th from 5-7. Work needs to be wired to hang. We do a scavenger hunt for adults with the show and they do a drawing for one winner of an 8×10 (or equivalent) print of their favorite picture so if your picture is the one chosen you will need to provide either a print or a digital file so we can make a print for the winner. The show will run through July 15th…(I may have said the wrong date at the meeting, as my notes were wrong).
Which leads us straight into the Art Walk. We will be hoisting the show at the Presbyterian church. More information will be coming after we have our meeting with the church later this month. We have decided we will not have judging categories, but will do a People’s choice. Art Walk generally is looking for newer work, but work that hasn’t been displayed during a previous Art Walk (even if it is older) is fine. The Art Walk is a good time to pull out your best work, and prints and a few framed pieces will usually sell. The Art Walk is Friday July 22nd, and then we will have open hours on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after the Art Walk as required by Destination Downtown.
There will be wall space, and display walls, and we may also borrow some display walls from Parks and Rec. We will have sign-ups for space once we figure out how we want to arrange the space.
Our Fall Olivedale Show – we need to double check the dates with Nancy and get a committee together to run things. The main priority will be deciding on judging categories so people have time to get their displays figured out.
April meeting – Kim Hartman did a presentation on Water Photography. Thanks Kim. We also had several examples set up that members could photograph.
May – John Daniels will be presenting “Special Effect Photography”
June – John and Nancy will be putting together an Africa Slide Show.
Please let us know if there are any subjects that you would like to learn about for future meetings
John has invited us for the Pine Lake Fireworks in July – we will determine if it is a picnic, etc. at a later date.
