| Welcome back message for the NCCC 2022-2023 club year Hello to all of our NCCC members and welcome back, Just a brief follow-up reminder that the beginning of our camera club year is rapidly approaching and we have still not heard from many of you- photos for the first competition are due to Dave by Wednesday, September 7, 2022 and the competition will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022. If you have already responded to my first email and sent in your dues please excuse this reminder but we have not heard from some of you & we miss all of you and want you all back as active members!! The first half calendar schedule is attached below and available on the club’s website, click here After two years affected by the COVID situation we are finally coming back to meet in person at the Levittown Library for two meetings/month (the third and fourth Wednesdays of each month unless otherwise stated on the calendar). The library is located at 1 Bluegrass Lane, Levittown, New York and we be meeting in the downstairs conference rooms. However, due to its success, we will continue to conduct our monthly competitions via ZOOM on the second Wednesday of each month. As in past years, to be able to participate in this first competition your membership dues must be paid in full by September 7th, the first image due date. Any member paying dues after September 7th will not be able to participate in that competition but will be able to make up the September images later in the club year. Dues remain at $50.00 for the new club year and can be sent by check made out to the Nassau County Camera Club and mailed to Helen Albano (the club treasurer). Please check your emails for her address or contact the club, click here. Let’s all stay involved, and as mentioned earlier, we would love to get more members involved in all aspects of the club. This is our club- let’s all make it a better club and a better year. Please keep me informed of any changes in your address, email or telephone numbers! Looking forward to seeing all of you very soon. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
