OUR CLUB, OUR FUTURE
“Town Hall Meeting” on Tuesday, May 14th
Despite recent events, our club is a vital entity poised to move forward to achieve our stated goals.
Our Town Hall Meeting will be an opportunity for all club members to help plan the future of our club, to fill the vacant slots, and move forward with our dynamic and vibrant club. Support for volunteers will be offered in the form of mentoring for all who step up to these positions and also for those who may offer to perform the “small tasks” involved in running a club. There are some great Programs already “in the pipeline”.
With the support and spirit of volunteerism of our club members, we will be able to continue our stated goals which appear on the front page of our HCCC WEBSITE: www.hillcountrycameraclub.org
