MONTHLY MEETINGS

Our club holds monthly meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month, 7-10 pm, at the Northwest Recreational Center, 2913 Northland Drive. The center is one block east of MoPac. Visitors are always welcome to attend any of our meetings. Below is a map showing the location of the Northwest Regional Center where we hold our monthly meetings.

In order to better acquaint you with our club routine and how membership is handled, we offer you the following information. The Austin Shutterbug Club normally meets every month except December, when we host our Annual Christmas Awards Banquet.

We begin at 7:00pm with a welcome and few brief announcements. We then present the evening’s special guest speaker and program or workshop, generally relating to some form of photography. On alternating months, a competition is held in place of the program.

Refreshments are served by our members during a 15 or 20 minute break that allows time to visit, share ideas, and meet new members and guests.

We also get together each month for an interesting field trip or some type of photography workshop. Twice a year we have a photo scavenger hunt, which is really fun and challenging. The scavenger hunts generally take place in another small community near Austin.

Guests are always welcome to our club, but we hope that you decide to join. When you become a member, you are eligible for an informative monthly newsletter, you can enter competition and have your photography critiqued by experienced photographers, go on field trips and have a vote when called for. If you decide to join, please see our Treasurer, Allen Keith. If he is not at the meeting, he can be reached at 512/454-1677. He will give you complete details on becoming a part of the Austin Shutterbug Club.
