What a Great Month at NVPS!  I hope you didn't miss some of the great activities over the last month at NVPS.  We had a very successful Novice Night on Oct 30th.  Bill Prosser, Paul Simmons and Minnie Gallman put together a wonderful evening of learning and interaction that drew more new faces in one night then we've ever seen.  Ed Funk gave an excellent lecture on the photography fundamentals which got great reviews and inspired many members new and existing alike.  Then there was the interactive portion of the evening where members had the opportunity to practice shooting the concepts Ed had presented, or ask questions of some of the experience club members about their camera. Thanks to all of you who helped support this evening, you made it a great success.

Next we had an outstanding exhibit at Henry House in Arlington.  A whole group of volunteers helped pull together a wonderful show, that was well attended and well enjoyed.  Jan Ponder worked very hard to coordinate this effort and on behalf of the membership and the board I would like to thank her for a job very well done.  I heard so many people say how much they enjoyed the Henry House exhibit.

Luella Murri has graciously stepped forwarded to volunteer for the position of Members Gallery for the remainder of the NVPS club year.  Luella has served the NVPS board in this capacity previously and has served the local photographic community with her television show Photographers of Northern Virginia which is currently in reruns on Fairfax Cable Access Channel 30.

As the calendar year comes to an end and was we are all celebrating the various holidays, please be safe particularly when you drive.  We want you to come back to NVPS and to your family again and again.

I hope to see you all soon at a NVPS meeting!
