Hi everyone,

I just want to wish everyone a wonderful and joyous holiday season and all the best in the new year.

I also want to remind everyone that the next camera club meeting will be on January 3 between 7 and 9 PM in the Magna room of the Aurora public library.

Which brings me to the agenda of the next meeting. We've got a number of things planned for January 3rd, including just spending a bit of time socializing. Given the fact that we're going to have two meetings in January (January 3, and 31) we're going to hold off doing the Monthly Challenge for January until the second meeting.

Just a reminder that the Monthly Challenge for January 31 is "Black & White" photography.  Your goal is to take an image and convert it to a black and white photograph using your tool of choice.  For this Monthly Challenge please upload the colour image as well as the black and white image that you created so that we can compare the two during the critique.

Also, if you don't mind please send a quick message to reelstories@rogers.com to let me know if you plan on coming to the January 3rd meeting.  Given the busyness of this time of year I just want to get a sense of how many people will be there.

On behalf of myself and the members of the steering committee be well and have a wonderful holiday.  We're looking forward to seeing you all in the new year.
