Camera Club Meeting - End of The Year Party

Come join the Eastman Camera Club for the End of The Year Christmas Party at 6:30 on Thursday,

December 18.  


Due to a scheduling conflict, the Eastman Camera Club meeting this Thursday December 18 has been moved to Room A1 in the Eastman Lodge at Bays Mountain.   The Eastman Lodge is located in Eastman Chemical Company's Bays Mountain Recreation Area.  The Recreation Area is located near the City of Kingsport's Bays Mountain Park.  Here are a map and directions:

• Get off I-26 at the John B. Dennis / Wilcox Drive Exit (Exit No. 51). 
• Turn left at the red light at the end of the exit ramp, and go back under I-26. Go 0.3 miles to a red light (you should be able to follow the brown Bays Mountain Park signs from here). 
• Turn right at the red light, go 0.1 miles, and turn left onto Princeton Road. 
• Go 0.2 miles and turn right onto Diana Avenue. 
• Go 0.6 miles to a stop sign at Reservoir Road. 
• Turn left and go 1.5 miles on Reservoir Road. 
• Turn right on Bays Mountain Road and go 0.6 miles to the Eastman Lodge (there's a fork in the road before you get to the Eastman Recreation Area; take the right fork. The left fork goes up the mountain to Bays Mountain Park. Immediately after you take the right fork, you will pass through a gate. Go about 0.2 miles and the Eastman Lodge will be on your left.

Bring your favorite Christmas goodie to share and enter to win door prizes.

This year we want everyone to bring their two favorite photos from 2014.  We will collect all those and share during the meeting.   You can email your photos to Richie Hayward before the meeting or bring them to the meeting on a USB thumb drive.

Our tradition is to bring our favorite photography gadget for show and tell.  It's a great way to get ideas for Christmas gifts.

Yummy Christmas Goodies.
