PHSC President
Clint Hryhorijiw
Toronto. When meeting #58 via ZOOM was held last Wednesday, it was a perfect storm – many regulars were unavailable for a variety of reasons. Fortunately there were no urgent issues to be minuted and voted.
The biggest amount of excitement was results from the first 2025 event now passed (auction) and anticipation for the second 2025 event, our fair, being held on the 25th.
Treasurer John Morden sent out his report before the meeting with no significant changes at the meeting. Next up is fiscal year end government filings
Newsletter editor Patrick Gunn sent in a written report. Issue 25-4 has been released and 25-5 is planned for this month (May). Anyone wishing to buy/sell items can contact me at info@phsc.ca and I will pass along the email to Patrick.
John Allman, as our O3C representation, has arranged for the spring fair poster to be included in the O3C newsletter before the fair is held.
Membership Secretary Lilianne Schneider sent in a written report listing new and renewal members for April.
Note: Regarding membership (new and renew) our journal is in ‘pdf format only’, so an email address is essential. A MailChimp notification is sent to all member emails when each journal pdf is produced and uploaded.
Remember, if you have UNSUBSCRIBED to our MailChimp list, you will not receive notification nor Photographic Canadiana nor other info. MailChimp does not permit me to reinstate a specific email address once unsubscribed by the owner. Renewal of such addresses are only possible via a form, not provided on our site.
Also, if you change email addresses, please tell us – MailChimp will tag the old address as CLEANED (they cannot add your new address automatically). If you are a member but HAVE NOT seen any notification for Photographic Canadiana since you registered or renewed, please email Lilianne at member@phsc.ca.
There was no programs report this month. ZOOM arrangements were handled by Clint.
Arrangements for the spring fair are well underway. Fair general admission is $8 and will increase to $10 for the fall fair.
Journal 50-4 was released and issue 51-1 is now underway.
Social media editor, Ms Markovic provided a brief update showing another encouraging growth in followers plus popular posts. She will be posting the auction images taken by Patrick later this month.
NB. The post title is a riff on Erich Maria Remarque’s anti-war book, “All Quiet on the Western Front” which I first read over 60 years ago. The title contains the last words in the novel (second last paragraph of first translation ).
