February Program
Our speaker in February is Dan Ballard and he will present his program "The Art of Creating a Powerful Image". Additionally he will be bringing several goodies from his sponsors to raffle off. Included will be a ThinkTank bag, and a $70 BlackRapid strap. Possibly a something from Zenfolio and SanDisk as well. Be sure to plan to come to the meeting, you may be a lucky winner.
Monthly Critique Images
Due to the nature of the length of the program as well as door prizes for club members, there will be no image critique this month.
Aurora History Museum Camera Exhibit
The Aurora History Museum is currently offering a display of cameras and photography history. It is called "Say Cheese" and it is free at the Aurora History Museum at 15051 E. Alameda Pkwy. It has some great displays of early cameras from collectors along the front range as well as from museums. The collections go back almost 200 years. For information on the exhibit, call 303-739-6666.
I tried to get on their website but found that the Government website is under "redesign", so call for details!

STILL NEED A PERSON TO HELP!!!
32nd George W. Glennie Nature Salon photographic competition
We have once again been invited to participate in this competition. The last couple of years Curtis Johnson has volunteered to be the coordinator of club submissions. Curtis will not be able to head up the effort this year (but will be available for consulting). We REALLY need someone to take this on. Submissions start February 1st and run through March 8th, so time is of the essence. Please contact me ASAP if you can help!
If you are interested in submitting images, here is the link describing the contest: http://mvcameraclub.org/
Since it's open to clubs, we do need to submit our entries as a club, thus the need for the coordinator.
