and will require MCC photographers. Anyone interested in participating
should contact Andrew Gyopar.
Melbourne Camera Club Fund Raising
As you most probably know the club is
expecting to require more than $400,000 over the next 15 years to restore and
upgrade the club building. The Board is hoping to implement a fund raising
strategy over a number of years to ensure that the money is there to spend when
it is needed. In addition to seeking grants, we hope to come up with other fund
raising ideas too. For example, one suggestion was for club members to donate
prints to the club which the club could then sell at markets to rise money. If
you have a fund raising idea please email your suggestion to

contact John to obtain the special code. Visit this page for more details.
New MCC RoleThese days we are getting quite a few visitors
coming along to the club and we need to make sure they feel welcome and
want to come again. Various people, on an ad hoc basis, have been
chatting to the newcomers but it has now reached a stage where there
needs to be a more formal arrangement in place.
Andrew would like to form a team of "Welcomers", who can seek out those
people looking lost and take them under their wing to explain the
workings of the club and introduce them to others. If you would like to
take on such a role, please contact Andrew Gyopar to discuss the details.
Council Positions
Nominations for Council positions open on 23rd July 2009. If you would
like to be part of the great team looking after our club put your name
on the list then.
Introduction to Photography Course
The next course starts in August and Andrew has requested that
members start thinking about whether they can assist at the course,
particularly on the Sunday sessions. Dates are in the program (printed)
and will be on the website soon.
