However, the club is much more than this monthly meeting. Many events take place throughout the month. Any club member can host an event. The events are coordinated here: https://www.meetup.com/Hillsboro-Photography-Meetup
Dues: OPC requires some money to support the Club's operational activities so there are Club dues. It's free to come and see what the club is all about. Interested parties will be accepted as provisional members until their dues are paid. New members can join at anytime during the year. Dues are paid annually covering the calendar year (January 1 - December 31st). The annual dues are $24/year for a household. The amount is prorated through the year depending on the month a member joins. Payments are made by giving the Club Treasurer cash or check at the regular meeting. Membership renewals for the coming year are due by December 31st of the current year.
OPC requires some contact information from its members for the operation of the club. This information includes email and phone contact information. This information will only be shared with the Club leaders. It will not be shared with the public or with any 3td party entities. The Club used Google+ OPC community pages to communicate with members. All Google+ users have the option to share or restrict their email address and contact information.
