2019-10-08 FCDCC Meeting Notes

We met in the Eagle 1 room at the Aztlan Center, 112 E Willow Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524

Please welcome Bill, Bev, Mary, Amanda, Erin, Dave, Patrick, Amy, Jeff, Chris, Veronica, Jessica, Tyler, Meadow, and Duane who were visiting our club.

We will be electing club officers for 2020 at the November meeting. We need a President and a President Elect for next year, please volunteer if you are willing to serve. We may delegate some of the President's responsibilities to volunteers to reduce the amount of work required from the president.

The Post Processing SIG has been doing some mentoring. Contact one of the leaders if you would like help with post processing.
