GOOD MORNING, DON AND RICH.
Well, last night meeting went well. It seems like everytime I have to host the meeting, new members come walking in. It has absolutely nothing to do with me, but it happened again last night. FIVE new people arrived and FOUR people signed up at the end of the meeting. That means that our little club that was down to about 8 active members grew has grown to has grown to have 27! Oh my.
For last evening's meeting, we had 17 members submit 96 photographs. That was actually TOO many to look at. Each member can submit at many as 6 photos for three different categories. I think we need to reduce that number.
Don, how many photographs are usually shared at your monthly meetings? Our meeting last night ended at 9:30. That was three hours. It went buy faster for me since I was the NERVOUS master of ceremony, but I thought that the slide show was way too long and got to be boring. I shared that with the vice president who was with me last night, thankfully, and am waiting to hear back from him regarding my thoughts about reducing the number of photos for the slide show.
Some of the members talk a wee bit too long about their photos, we don't always need to know the "STORY" behind the photo. Many tell tidbits about their vacation or a funny incident that happened. I also feel that personally, I could have eliminated two or three from the six that I submitted. I only care to share THE VERY BEST, and sometimes I do not have a few that rank that high according to my standards.
I cannot remember if I shared this one with you yet. I usually have a coding system but sometimes I forget to mark the photo as "shared". So, I got good feedback on this one. My husband actually spotted this BUNCH OF BOVINES as we were driving around up north. He stopped the car, I rolled down the window, and GOT LUCKY.
I apologize if you have already seen it.
