How can I attend the meetings?
You and your guests may attend our public meetings freely. We have no restrictions on attendance. To vote at our annual meeting, you must pay an annual dues payment of $20 which makes you a member in good standing. A few of our members have spent hundreds of dollars of their own to kickstart this group, and every little bit helps to prevent future expenses from coming out of their pockets.
Our first meeting was held at Shark Club in July, and then the Waterford Township Public Library, and lately they have been held at the photography studio at Photography by Mari.
