June 2009 Share and Learn Photos are now available!
Our purpose is to bring together people interested in exploring the wonder of God's creation through the lens of a camera. Members of all ages encourage one another and share their efforts to record nature, travels, people and memories. Anyone is welcome to join this club. We are here to teach one another through enjoyable activities and meetings, to make new friendships through a common interest, to support The Woodlands United Methodist Church through our photography, and to glorify God through it all.
Meetings: We meet the first Monday of each month, excluding holidays, at 7:00 pm in Jones Library (southwest corner of the church - see map). The meeting starts promptly at 7:15.
Our meetings last for one and a half hours. We share camera tips, learn new techniques, exchange ideas, and enjoy gaining insight from others' experiences. Every month brings a new program. For more information, e-mail us at cameraclub
twumc.org.
Club Dues: There are opportunities and programs that require funds from time to time. Membership dues of $15 per person or $20 per family per year are a voluntary (non-tax-deductable) gift toward the operations of the Camera Club, and enable us to expand our programs. Membership is not required to attend monthly meetings nor to have a name tag, however, all workshops and field trips require membership to attend.

Share and Learn
Take some photos and share them with other members at the next meeting. We all want to know each other better and learn from all our experiences. Each month you can share up to four (4) photos. E-mail your photos to cameraclubtwumc.org by the end of the month! We cannot guarantee that photos received less than four (4) days before the monthly meeting will be included.
If you need help with this, call Jean and Mike Drummond (281.367.7641) or Pete Poulsen (281.292.1568). Remember - we have a mailbox in the resource room located beside the church receptionist if you need to drop off a CD or photo.
Always be sure you receive a response from one of us after you e-mail photos to be sure we received them.
