Monthly video meetings to share ideas for keeping our clubs vibrant and active during the pandemic

Monthly video meetings to share ideas for keeping our clubs vibrant and active during the pandemic

I was so excited by the ideas spurred by you at our meeting Friday night and the responses they generated. Thank you Dave Westlake for starting us off. . Thank you to Chane Cullens (chane@ccullens.com) for taking point on monthly video meetings starting August 4th and continue on the first Tuesday of each month. You will be hearing more from Chane.

Throughout history when disaster has struck people have united and worked together to get through. One example is the creation of a fire hydrant system and the first insurance company as a result of the Great London Fire in the 1600's. Well, the Covid Pandemic of 2020 has not stopped camera clubs from meeting and enjoying the gift of photography.  Clubs have maintained a virtual focus to keep everyone safe and still maintain and inspire their membership. Maybe the idea of monthly virtual meetings will be our new normal.

Please keep your ideas coming. Let me know if you have tried any of the ideas in this attachment. I am sure your discussions with Chane will be lively and full of ideas. 

Stay safe, stay well. Antoinette

Hi NECCC Reps

On 7-19-2020 you received an email from NECCC President Antoinette Gombeda announcing our monthly video meetings to share ideas for keeping our clubs vibrant and active during the pandemic. I'm impressed with the ideas that we have already received from five camera clubs! Let's discuss all ideas and find out what made them work. This provides you with a range of suggestions to keep your members taking photos, socializing, learning and above all, having fun with photography.

When: Tuesday, August 4, 2020, 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
