Facebook Group

With the KSCCC having shut down live meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, one feature that we have been unable to offer our members is comments and critiques on their images. The KSCCC website is not a particularly good platform for this, so a few KSCCC members have been testing using a Facebook Group as a place to post images for review. This is an approach other photo clubs and photo sites are using.

November Camera Club Meeting

The November meeting will be held online using Google Meet. For updated information on how to use Google Meet for our meetings go here.

A link to the meeting will be posted on our website the morning of November 5th. If you’re new to online meetings sign in at 8:45 a.m. to allow you to test your setup, otherwise sign in at 9:00 a.m. The meeting will start at 9:15 a.m.
