ABOUT OUR CLUB

OUR CLUB HISTORY ...     On the eve of February 20, 2007, in the meeting room of the Greene County Cooperative Extension Office in Waynesburg, the Greene County Photography Club was born. Pamela Blaker of Waynesburg, was instrumental in establishing the first county photo club. Pam together with Jerry Hardy, a local professional photographer and a retired school teacher, pooled their thoughts, working together on the inception of the first photography club in Greene County. After reaching out to Greene Countians through flyers, newspapers, and word-of-mouth, the club finally was formed. The initial meeting allowed attendees to introduce themselves share ideas, and participate in what has become a monthly exhibit and photo contest of club members.

Pam who is herself interested in photography, outlined some of her ideas in starting the club and provided a survey sheet for those in attendance asking for input on their ideas for the club activities. For our initial meeting, Jerry Hardy shared 20 tips for taking good pictures. Jerry is a local, professional photographer as well as a form teacher in the Central Greene School District. Jerry's knowledge and expertise of photography offers so much to the club members.

As our club began to grow, we felt a need for club officers and at our May meeting (3rd monthly meeting), we decided who those officers could be. The competition was fierce -- but Pam Blaker agreed to serve as Club President and Jerry Hardy agreed to be Vice President. Denise Chadwick accepted the position of Secretary and Debbie Hoy as our Club Treasurer who will be handling our financial transactions and records. At a previous meeting, the club members had strong feelings about having a website to share photos, information and tips. At the time, with the absence of an experienced webmaster, Ruth Thornberg was volunteered to establish a website for our club; which when contacted, Ruth agreed on designing the club's request.

The club website actually went LIVE on May 30, 2007 (http://www.greenecountyphotoclub.org/) -- thanks to the knowledge and efforts of Ruth Thornberg (a club member, as well as the webmaster by profession). Ruth graciously took on the task of establishing the website and will be maintaining the site as well.

And also a special thanks to Pam Blaker and the other owners of GreeneSAVER for sponsoring our website for the first year; which means that GreeneSAVER will be paying the monthly fees for having our own little place on the world wide web. The club thanks Ruth and Pam for their expertise and assistance in our website endeavors.
. . . Thank you for visiting our GCPC website.
