Toronto. The December 2024 session was held via ZOOM on Dec 4th. Between the fair and the auction, I completely missed doing a post on the Oct and Nov exec meetings. Thank goodness it was a quiet period other than Mr Patrick Gunn taking on the newsletter duties. His first newsletter is planned for this month and non-time-sensitive material has been accumulated for the next few issues.
We had a visitor in editor Rita Godlevskis who covered the activities of PhotoEd magazine this year and her plans for 2025. We were pleased to renew our support. You can too – subscribe to the magazine. It’s the only one we know about that is devoted to photographic education.
Membership Secretary Lilianne Schneider advises things have been quiet giving her time to assist with the auction. Joining us is sooo easy and inexpensive. See the MEMBERSHIP menu above (form and cheque submission) and/or our PayPal button at right (PayPal account or credit card). New/Renew memberships received after October begin January 2025.
As our journal is in ‘pdf format only’, an email address is essential. Issue 50-2 is available after a MailChimp notification. Important: if you have UNSUBSCRIBED to our list, you will not receive notification nor Photographic Canadiana nor other info. MailChimp does not permit me to reinstate that specific email address. Renewal of such addresses are only possible via a form, not 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/renewed, please email Lilianne at member@phsc.ca.
*Note that as of 2022, our membership year ends December 31st.* As of 2024, membership fees are $35/$100 1 yr/3 yr Canadian regardless of the member location (one of the perks of pdf).
Celio Barreto reports a Holiday Show and Tell (plus the AGM) will be held December 18th. A speaker (Janine Freestone, Oxford, UK) is set for January 2025. Please note Celio is presently populating our YouTube channel with past presentations.
Next year’s (2025) fairs to be held May 25th and October 19th. Happy Holidays, folks!
the gang’s (almost) all here …
