Hello fellow Lighthouse Camera Club Members!

I hope everyone is doing well. 

For those of us that went, the PB Zoo field trip in January was amazing! The tiger cubs were out and playful so several of us got some great shots of them interacting with momma and each other before nap time. Jeff just finished putting together the poster we present to the zoo and as always, he did a fantastic job (Thank you Jeff). 

Steve has been doing a tremendous job posting and engaging people on our LCC Facebook Page. Thanks to Steve and also Bill L, Bill P, Louis, Nancy and Donna for being the biggest posters sharing photos and articles as well as commenting and supporting others. If you haven’t been sharing on our page please do. There are no political or personal posts, just beautiful photos for everyone to enjoy.

Even though Photography is almost back to normal, I am still running boats for a steady source of income (just in case we ever have a second wave of shut downs) and I’m super busy with my photography business as well. I am very grateful for all this work, but it sure does make it difficult to find time for other things.

I’ve saved the best for last…. GREAT NEWS – we just heard from Zac at the North Palm Beach Library and the meeting room at the library is available to meet again!!!

We have been approved to meet on the second Tuesday of April (4/13 at 6pm). We are however limited to a maximum of 25 people right now so we will need you to RSVP if you are comfortable coming out in public.

We will take the opportunity to catch up and we have a slideshow from our zoo trip to start with. We will need to comply with current safety protocols- (masks and social distancing) and of course if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to someone that is sick please do not risk exposing anyone attending.

Please reply to either jefforns@comcast.net or seffertzphotography@gmail.com as we have started the RSVP list. 

Best regards and hope to see you soon!
