PHSC President
Clint Hryhorijiw
Toronto. April and hot weather is forecast. Did you all see the eclipse of the sun on the 8th? Eerie … Here is a brief recap (and update).
As our fiscal year end remains April 30th, our treasurer asks that all cheques outstanding be cashed by month end and any outstanding expenses submitted ASAP.
PHSC newsletter editor Katrin Faridani issued the March newsletter and plans to send newsletters off every 5-6 weeks if possible. She has a number of suggestions for content. If you didn’t get your copy, drop me an email at news@phsc.ca and I will add you to the MailChimp list.
Membership Secretary Lilianne Schneider continues to handle the membership records and has offered many new ideas as well. Contact her via info@phsc.ca if you have any questions. Remember, we always need volunteers. If you feel you can help in any capacity, email me at info@phsc.ca.
Our journal is in pdf format with the latest issue available after a MailChimp notification. If you have UNSUBSCRIBED, you will not receive notification nor Photographic Canadiana nor other info. MailChimp does not permit me to reinstate that specific email address. Renewal by me of such addresses is possible via a form, not yet on our site. And if you change email addresses, please tell us as MailChimp flags such old addresses as CLEANED (they cannot add your new address automatically).
*By the way, note that as of 2022, our membership year ends December 31st.* Also as of 2024, memberships are $35/$100 1 yr/3 yr Canadian regardless of the member location (one of the perks of pdf format for our journal).
The April Toronto meeting is a special seminar chaired by our program director on April 12th. We will notify those on our MailChimp list how to join the event. Further details will be posted closer to the 12th. NOTE: We just heard word on the 8th that this session has been cancelled.
The problem with Eventbrite has been resolved successfully and we will continue using it. If you are not yet on MailChimp, please contact Clint or Celio via info@phsc.ca for connection details. We will forward the message.
Our presence on Instagram continues to grow. Social Media Coordinator, Markovic, suggested some broader advertisement ideas via our newsletter and email blasts (Instagram is already linked on this site).
Co-editor David Bridge and partner Louise Freyburger have issued volume 49-4 of Photographic Canadiana. They are presently writing issue 50-1 which is scheduled for release around late June, 2024. As 49-4 was a courtesy issue for 2023 members, those who do not renew now may not receive issue 50-1. Please renew or join now if you haven’t already. See the MEMBERSHIP menu above and/or our PayPal button at right.
We notify all members via MailChimp as each journal issue is released. If you are a member but HAVE NOT seen the notification for 49-4 since you registered/renewed, please email me at info@phsc.ca.
Our spring events are starting beginning with our auction on May 5th. We plan to add details and a ‘lot’ slide show beginning the middle of this month. Meanwhile, enjoy the lovely weather!
