it’s the happy gang …

Toronto. … when I was a kid, my mom sometimes had the radio set to CBC making me an accidental listener to part of  The Happy Gang at lunch time.

Well, January 8, 2025 was our 54th executive meeting by ZOOM. A few folk were missing due to various unexpected things. Meantime, dates have been firmed up for the two fairs and trunk sale. Action is currently underway to firm up the date of our spring Auction (likely in March).

I mentioned last month that Patrick Gunn is the new newsletter editor. His first newsletter (not Dec 2024, but Jan 2025) is finished and ready for proofing before being issued via MailChimp.

Action is still quiet on the Membership front although renewals are coming in quickly and shared with Secretary Lilianne Schneider. Did I mention how easy it was join/renew? See the MEMBERSHIP menu above (form plus cheque submission) and/or our PayPal button at right (PayPal account or credit card). New/Renew memberships received after October began this month.

To repeat, our journal is in ‘pdf format only’, so an email address is essential. Issue 50-3 is available now. A MailChimp notification was sent to all member emails on December 31st. Issue  50-4 is currently being assembled.

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 a specific email address once unsubscribed by the owner. 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 or renewed, please email Lilianne at member@phsc.ca.

Celio Barreto reports that speaker, Ms Janine Freeston, of Oxford, UK) will talk January 15, 2025 on some old colour Processes. You can order tickets (free) via Eventbrite.

Celio continues to  populate our YouTube channel with past presentations. The channel is linked at right – just click the icon marked EVENTS.

Social media editor, Ms Markovic provided a brief update. She recently (Dec 2024) presented a talk on Ms Minna Keene to a delighted audience at TMU. Well done, Mina!
