\"\"<\/a>The 2022-2023 NVPS club year is off to a really good start due to your participation and the hard work of all our volunteers and board! Look at what we have accomplished in just our first month, despite not being able to hold our weekly meetings in person.<\/p>\n

October kicks off will Jennifer King who will be making a presentation on \u201cThe Fine Art of Black and White Photography.\u201d For Education & Training we welcome back Ren\u00e9e Comet who will be giving us valuable tips on culinary photography titled \u201cEating With Your Eyes.\u201d Our second competition on October 18 again has an open theme. The last Tuesday meeting includes great Member\u2019s Galleries from Len Johnson on \u201cBrown Bears in Alaska\u201d and Bob Friedman on \u201cCOVID Projects to Keep Me Sane.\u201d This will be followed by Art and Deb Rose who will provide a Member\u2019s Forum titled \u201cTraveling the Mother Road: A Route 66 Road Trip.\u201d Our field trip this month is to the Farms of Loudoun County with Roger Lancaster on Oct 22. Please mark your calendars for this event planned by our great Field Trip team of Steve Glintz and Rena Schild.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to hear that NVPS members are traveling once again to take some amazing photographs. If you have not done so in the past, please share your images on NVPS\u2019s Facebook private social group. We would love to see them! If you do not belong to this FB group, please click on this link NVPS Facebook Group<\/u><\/a> and request to join.<\/p>\n

In order to better protect our club\u2019s email contacts list, we have moved our Board Contact<\/u><\/a> information to a secure location that requires members to use a special log on (similar to uploading images into monthly competitions). Each of us must be alert to \u201cphishing\u201d and \u201cscamming\u201d attempts to steal information or resources. I, myself, faced an attempted scam recently from someone who contacted me through my photography website. Even though it seemed legitimate initially, it quickly became clear that it was not. I urge each of you to protect yourselves and be alert. The Board thanks you for taking this extra step in accessing the club email contact for our board members\u2019 addresses.<\/p>\n

See you on Tuesday night and keep those shutters clicking!<\/p>\n
