She will send out s to the membership asking for other 4C s competition images. Convention - Elise has checked with the Mill Casino and we are set to have the C s Convention there on the second floor. It can host 140 people for a cost in the vicinity of $ for 2 days, with other costs on top of that, such as food, projector, screens, etc. Elise will check back next week and firm up prices. There is a possibility of some kind of entertainment from the Casino that could be photographed by convention attendees. Horses running in the surf was also discussed as a field trip for convention attendees. Fair - Last week a special meeting concerning the fair was held for all interested parties. What worked, what didn t work and changes that need to be made were discussed. Some changes were: two people will work the last shift of the day instead of one, three new categories added-macro, Night Scene, Selfies and one category eliminated-other. The thickness of entries will be addressed and no stretched canvas, metal prints, or acrylic prints will be accepted. Before the fair there will be education for OCPA members working take-in and sitting a session at the fair. Pony Village - Bonnie has us set up for a Show/Sale on November 16 thru 19 with hanging on the 15 th. BBQ - This coming Saturday will be Thomas Konomos BBQ in Coquille. It starts at 4:00 P.M.; bring a side dish and a chair. MOTY - Kathy would like to have the ability to give points at her discretion, such as bringing refreshments for the meeting or doing something helpful to the general population of OCPA. Fund Raising - Raffling another gift certificate was discussed. We made $5 on the last one. Elise has a lens pouch that has never been used and has offered it as a raffle item. She will bring it to the next meeting. Carol brought up the discussion of having an equipment exchange. We all have old equipment hanging around that someone else may be interested in. This would be exchange only with no money changing hands. This will be discussed more at a later date. Proof Sheet - We have a new Proof Sheet Editor. Bonnie Graham has kindly stepped up and is willing to edit the newsletter. Elise is in the process of setting up a web address for Bonnie. 6

Thank you, Dick and Kathy, for the storage of back-up equipment. Tony will be gone next meeting and Vice President Bonnie Smith will run the meeting with Elise running the computer and projector.
