Activities

Informal Field Trip MeetUp Groups
We wll continue to have informal field trips - MeetUp Groups - for spontaneous unorganized field trips. There will be a signup sheet for email notifications on the bulletin board across from the treasurer's desk at the club. Then when a MeetUp is planned (see below), an email will go out from Marilyn Cloran (macloran@comcast.net) to the people who have signed up to be notified. If you cannot make it to the club to put your name on the signup sheet, please email Marilyn at the above address.

Any person who wants to plan a MeetUp will send Marilyn Cloran the meet up information with date, time and specific location at which the group will meet. They may also want to include any specific information regarding equipment needs etc. Then Marilyn will send that information out to the MeetUp group email list. Interested participants will go to the venue on their own and meet at the location and time indicated.

Nature Photography - First Principles

Here are some important things to remember as you go out to photograph nature:

Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.
Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
Use discretion if sharing locations. Know and follow rules and regulations.
Always follow Leave No Trace principles and
strive to leave places better than you found them.
Actively promote and educate others about these principles.

Volunteers Needed
A. Volunteers are always needed to run an organization the size and scope of GLPA. See Susan Mosser or email her at s.jmosser@comcast.net if you would like to volunteer for one of the jobs.

B. Volunteers are especially needed to come up with field trip ideas either to lead a trip or to send your idea to Susan Mosser (email above). Fields trips are a great way to have fun and meet new members. We need volunteers to not only run or co-run them but to attend them.

C. We also need volunteers for MeetUps, see first "bubble" at the top of this page for information.
