Wassenberg Camera Club news

By Rex Dolby

The Wassenberg Camera Club met Thursday, March 24, at the Art Center to work on a number of upcoming issues.  Pres. Hattery started the meeting with handouts and a slide show on what to consider as we prepare our entries for next month’s competition, which has Seasons as the theme.

She then turned to the topic of the categories for this year’s photography exhibit at the county fair.  Out of that discussion, the following themes were selected:  Van Wert County Fair, On the Farm, Silly Portraits, Night Time, and In Motion.  This decision should provide adequate time for local photographers to create some great images.

The next topic was suggestions the club could submit to the Wassenberg board for the Wassenberg Art Center October Show prospectus.  These included ideas for changes in categories and changes in the number of entries.

Will Hawkins, our newest member, brought some fine pictures of birds he’d taken on or near his bird feeder.  Some of these may appear in the October show.

Sale of the club’s $5 food discount cards continues.  The card, which is good till April of 2012, offers food items at free or reduced prices at 20 area businesses.  For cards or more information, call 419-238-4545.

The club’s next meeting will be on Thursday, April 12, at 7 p.m. at the Art Center.  “Seasons” will be the theme for competition that evening.
