Welcome to a new year at NVPS!  I'm very excited about what NVPS will offer this year.  We have a nice mix of new and experienced board members who'll bring us interesting presentations, spirited competitions, a variety of learning possibilities with workshops and field trips, and opportunities to exhibit our work both inside and outside the club. We'll all be working to maintain the wonderful tradition of NVPS as one of the premier photo clubs in the area.  The club is incredibly fortunate to have a great group of volunteers on the board this year who'll donate their time and efforts at making NVPS a fun organization to be a member of.

My highest priority for the club this year is to renew our efforts to help new members and novice photographers feel welcome and comfortable so that they will ask questions and look to the experienced members of NVPS for guidance, knowledge and help with their photographic pursuits.  I believe the reason new members come to NVPS is learn how to become better photographers and to gain comfort and enjoyment in their photographic pursuits. In fact it may be the reason that all of us come to NVPS. It's a wonderful side benefit that we meet nice people along the way who are willing and eager to share their knowledge with others.

Our first meeting of the season is Tuesday September 4th, 2007 and we have a new meeting time this year, starting at 7:30pm, meet and greet at 7:00 PM.

I look forward to seeing you at NVPS!
