Peter Florczak runs the Zoom meetings.
He will send out links to the meetings via the email address he has on file for each member. If you didn't get an invitation you can email him at peterflorczak@gmail.com. Within the email will be the link that will connect you to the meeting. No meeting number or password needed, just click the link. If you have problems, you can go to Zoom.us and click the join meeting link. Here you will need the meeting number and password in the email I send. I highly recommend you go to http://www.Zoom.us and register. That way when you click the link, your name shows up on the waiting list and on screen. If not there is only a number on the screen.

So far we have have no formal program, but there is a possibility that we could all work on the digital copies of the prints that did not place from last months print competition?

Thursday September 15th is our PRINT competition.
To enter the PRINT competition you must upload a 2MB image on the PRINT SUBMISSION PAGE on this website, https://www.gsacc.org/print-submission-page.html The page then automatically sends the images to our PRINT chairman who will keep them for posting the winners on this website and keeping them for End of Year Award judging. (I hear that there might be ribbons, certificates and cash awards?) You should get a reply in a day or so that your images have been received. You then need to bring your prints to Digital Pro Lab on completion night by 7 PM to enter them for on-site judging.
NEW! All first place winners will get a gift certificate for $25 to Digital Pro Labs.
Remember to follow all rules for submitting a print. Entry rules can be found out at https://www.gsacc.org/competition-rules--how-to-enter.html
