Please pay your dues for 2020 to Dave Chamness at the next meeting if you haven't already paid. You can find him at most meetings. Annual dues are $25/member with $15 for a spouse and $10 for each additional child under 18. Dues are prorated based on the month you join. Dave summarized our club's financial status: Check out the SIGs (Special Interest Groups); they have been holding lots of meetings and going on lots of outings. Participating in a SIG is an excellent way to develop your skills. Conceptual Photography - Kai Frawg We may cancel the Photography 101 SIG and the Videography SIG as we have not see much interest in either one. If you are interested in either of these SIGs please contact our club president (Paul) or the SIG leaders. Please send your SIG outing schedules to info@fcdcc.com so I can add them to the website. Ralph recommended a Night Sky Facebook group for any members interested in shooting at night. Ralph Smith is arranging a night shoot near Truth or Consequences N.M. to photograph Mexican free-tailed bats. The guide can take up to 5 photographers and the cost is $150. Please contact Ralph if you are interested. Guy reported that several eagles have been hanging out at the pond near Kechter and Lady Moon Dr. Many fish have died over the winter and become available to the eagles when the pond thaws.
