Dear fellow Guild members,

I hope you all are doing well and ready for an interesting season. As I mentioned it earlier, our usual meeting place is unavailable for us for the rest of the year and we are not sure if they open up for events in early 2021. Based on this, we will schedule our meetings as online meetings. The Guild now has a WebEx account and that will help us in this matter. It will not provide the same experience as the in-person meetings at the museum, but we’ll try to make it as good as possible.

The Executive team is finalizing the program and as soon as we will have it ready, we will make it available to you.

Our first meeting is usually a Wine & Cheese Season Opener. That cannot happen this year, so we’ll have an online version of it. The “Season Opener / Welcome” session will be at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, September 9. After the Executive Update, we’ll have a Show & Tell session. If you would like to show up to 10 of your images (or a video), please send them to me (president@photoguild.ns.ca). If you are planning to show a video, please use www.wetransfer.com to send them to me. Please send the files before the end of August if possible.

Another date you can pencil into your calendar is September 12. We will have a “PGNS Social/Photo Get Together” at the Halifax Public Gardens at 9:30 am on Saturday, September 12. We’ll have some small treats for those who come. We will need to follow the Provincial Health Guidelines, so social distancing (and masks if social distancing is not possible) will be required. Detailed field trip guidelines will be sent to you once we finalize the wording.

Stay safe,
Laszlo
