Cookeville Camera Club

The Cookeville Camera Club was recently featured in the Herald-Citizen highlighting our photography exhibition at the Cookeville Art Studio, and we appreciate the coverage.

One small note for anyone who saw the article—the members pictured in the photo (minus the mayor) are the Camera Club board members. We’re proud of the group leading the club and grateful for all the work that goes into making events like this possible.

It’s wonderful to see our photography community getting this kind of recognition. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Cookeville Camera Club!

To CCClub Members: Our January contest theme is CHRISTMAS. Start uploading your images to the “Member’s Only” section of our club’s website now. Keep in mind you only enter 3 images in your “division” (Novice/Regular/Master) so you must select your registered classification to upload them.

If you don’t have any Christmas images to enter, all members can enter three images into the (Open) Exhibition. Don’t let the deadline pass for either of these uploads. Do it now!

Dear Club Members,

The wintery mix that has made it’s appearance today has me concerned for our safety. Many of the Club Members travel from remote
area’s surrounding Cookeville. Myself and several Club Members actually come from Crossville. There has already been one accident
on I-40 in Monterey this morning. I am putting this email out early enough so you can rest assured I have your safety in mind.

There will be No Club Meeting this evening November 10th. The Club Meeting will be re-scheduled for Monday November 17th at that time
we will have the Club Elections and view the Video Essays. I hope this message reaches everyone of the club members. If you feel like sending a reply
to me personally (Not Replay All) to let me know I reached you that would be okay.

Ron Durant
President Cookeville Camera Club

To all Cookeville Camera Club Members. We are at the time of year when nominations for board members will take place. For the first time in a few years, we have several open positions that need to be filled, including the President and Treasurer.

I hope that you will consider running for one of these positions. We want to keep the club alive with engaging content and training. PLEASE consider running, as we would hate for the club to fold after so much has been done in the last 2 years.

I sent the Herald-Citizen the wrong first name for this winning photo at the Putnam County Fair. I’m happy they corrected my mistake today. I apologize Veronica Clouse.
