October 2024

 Note from the President of the FLCC.

Hi All

Well it is now October for a little while yet, and lots is going on. Links for Crim photos has been moved down on this page. But still available to anyone. 

October 17th meeting was a photo view and critic with several members bring photos of all kinds. The subject photo was "Minimalism". 

Minimalism is the photo subject for the month of October. We had a great number of photos, all types and ideas of minimalism. Not enough room on this site to post all. To see all the minimalism Photos that members brought please visit the Our FaceBook pg. 

This months photo subject is "Hobby". Interpretation is up to you. First meeting of the month November 7th will be a learning/participation mtg. Not sure of the subject. Maybe it will be a surprise. 

"Flint Lensmen Camera Club Face Book Page". Everyone is encouraged to join. You will be kept up to date on activities and events as well as training opportunities.  You won't be able to post on this site "website" unless you are a paid dues member. $20  a year. Please visit. We will be planning New and exciting learning events and photo trips. Everyone can join in on these trips still, Must have dues paid to date to participate. Some great places for great photo taking opportunities.

With each month comes the challenge of photos for the month. Along with photos for the other categories listed below.

Maybe this year we can start an "Our Community" photo challenge that can be something of interest and will probably be a season long project.  

See Facebook page and Activities section on this site. For information please contact the club through the email right side of this page, or Facebook page. 

Dues for 2025 will need to be paid before first of the year. Remember dues were lowered to just $20 a year.

Stay healthy and safe.
