PHSC President
Clint Hryhorijiw
Toronto. … How time flies! February 5th was our 55th executive meeting by ZOOM. Clint has honed in on two dates for the spring auction, but a firm date has not been set. The venue will likely be the Long Branch Legion Hall as before.
Our meeting began with a brief comment on PHSC financials by long time member and one time treasurer Judy Rauliuk (CA). Her insightful suggestions will be reviewed by a sub-committee and reported back next month.
Treasurer John Morden sent out his report before the meeting and provided a summary of last month’s cash flows. John is in the process of simplifying our banking structure.
Editor Patrick Gunn’s first newsletter, 25-1 featuring a new style and number sequence was released last month. Issue 25-2 will be out later in February.
John Allman has generously taken on the O3C representation for now. John is a long time PHSC member as well as being actively involved in other photography clubs including the O3C.
Membership Secretary Lilianne Schneider issued both a monthly report and a trio of detailed membership reports from her spreadsheet records. She requested a change to the website to ensure memberships are clearly marked as NEW or RENEWAL to aid in routine distribution of the member-only DVD to NEW members.
Just to repeat, 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.
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 the January talk by speaker Janine Freeston, of Oxford, UK was well received with all seats offered on Eventbrite sold out. As new speakers are announced, details will be posted here. Celio initiated an investigation in ways to streamline access to our presentations, noting some people registered twice (and the odd one 3 times) on Eventbrite.
Social media editor, Ms Markovic was unavailable, but emailed a brief update.
