Club Programs:
It is once again time to plan our meeting programs for next
year. Over the last several meetings we
have received ideas from many of you. If
you have any additional ideas that you feel would make interesting programs,
please forward them to Rick Vollbrecht.
You are the best source of ideas - these are your meetings and we want
to make them interesting and informative for you. We are also looking for some volunteers to
meet for a few hours to take these ideas and work on creating a program
schedule for next year. If you are
willing to help, please let Rick know.
We will probably meet at the end of November or early December. This is an opportunity for you to help keep
our club strong!

Photographic
Society of America (PSA):
We talk a lot about PSA , so I thought it would be a good idea to
give a little explanation of the organization.
According to the PSA web site: "The
Photographic Society of America (PSA) is a worldwide organization for anyone
interested in photography. The society includes casual shutterbugs, serious
amateurs, and professional photographers. Founded in 1934, PSA has members in over 70
countries. Individual, Club, and Council memberships offer a wide variety of
services and activities: a monthly magazine; online photo galleries, image
evaluation, study groups, and courses; competitions; an annual conference;
recognition; and discounts on photography related products and services."
The Retzer Camera Club is a member of PSA. In addition, a number of us are individual
members of PSA. Annual membership dues
are $45.00. There is also a Wisconsin
Chapter of PSA that meets four times a year (note schedule above)., Annual membership is $5.00. One must be a member of PSA to be a member
of the Wisconsin chapter. The Wisconsin
Chapter has an open invitation to non-PSA members to attend its meetings as a
way of introducing you to PSA and the local chapter - so please feel free to
attend one of the chapter meetings to find out more about PSA. It is expected that after you have attended
several meetings and you find them interesting that you would then consider
joining PSA and the Wisconsin chapter.
If you have any questions, please contact Rick.
