On 9/20/12 the following pages were updated: Calendar, Committees, Contests, Links (includes the added Sandhill Crane Tour and the Wapiti Rendezvous at Nowthen Threshing Show Grounds), Meeting Minutes and the Training pages.

Updated the Meeting Minutes with the latest meeting minutes and the Links pages with new information presented at our June 20th meeting. See the Links page for the information presented by Rose Luffel (see Education Links section) and information about the Elk River Area Arts Alliance (Clubs and Events section). (6/28/12)

We have new officers as of our last meeting in May (5/16/12): President John Richardson, Board Member at Large Arne Myrabo. Due to family health issues, John Richardson had to step down from president about a week later. Stepping in as our new President is Steve Huss, who had also run as President. We welcome our new board members/officers.

Updated the links page for new opportunities at the Sherburne Refuge and Lake Maria State Park and updated the training page (4/25/12).

Added a new training opportunity (1/31/12).

Now collecting annual dues as of our May 2011 meeting. Use the form available on the Contact Us page to join the club and get your dues paid to Jean Davids or Val Somerville (check make out to the club).

Bylaws have been completed and approved unanimously by the officers as of 4/29/11. They have been posted on the About Us page for you to look over to see how our club will be operating. This was one of the last steps that we needed to finalize.

Nonprofit Status of Club (4/27/11) - We now have our own mailing address: Monticello Camera Club, 1711 Winnebago Street, Big Lake, MN 55309. I have added it to our Contact Us page as well as at the bottom of every page on our website. We got our nonprofit status approved so we are now a nonprofit corporation in the state of MN. Our bylaws have been written and were reviewed and agreed upon right before our April 2011 meeting. They just need to be revised and approved by the club officers. Dues will be $12 per person and for additional family members it will be $6 per person (husband and wife would cost $18, parent/child $18, each additional child $6, etc). We will start collecting dues at the May 2011 meeting.
