Our meeting schedule runs from September until May. The first meeting of the year is typically our “Best Shot” meeting, which features members’ images taken during the summer. We try to have a variety of meetings, with guest speakers, hands-on exercises, and demonstrations.

Our Program Committee is hard at work lining up programs and speakers for 2023-2024. Below are some of the highlights of the season. Don’t forget to check back for more information.
