2026-27 Club Leadership

in

A special note from our PVCC Club Secretary:

As we look ahead to the coming year, we would like to encourage all members to consider taking a more active role in shaping the future of our club. In accordance with our bylaws, a nominating committee shall be established by the President at the last meeting in April.  Nominations shall be presented to the club at the first meeting in June. Nominations may be accepted from the floor, with the prior concurrence of the nominee.  The election shall be the third meeting in June.

Serving as an officer or committee member is a rewarding way to give back, share your perspective, and help ensure we continue to offer a vibrant and engaging experience for all. If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, now is the perfect time to step forward or support a fellow member who would make a great leader. Thank you in advance for giving this the consideration it deserves. This support is vital in order to keep our club functioning and delivering a best-in-class experience for our current and future club members.

Regards,
Mark

Celebrate 50 Years of Photo Venture Camera Club Thursday!

in

We hope you will join current and past members, and friends, of Photo Venture Camera Club this Thursday, October 23, at the Indianapolis Art Center as we celebrate our 50th anniversary.

We'll gather at 6 p.m. to meet and greet while checking out the photo display and our Memory Board. Club members will be on hand to answer your photography questions at the PVCC Help Desk. The formal program will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Over the years, PVCC has touched our lives and helped us:

  • Deepen our love for photography

  • Become better photographers

  • Meet other photography enthusiasts

  • Visit new places and attend exciting events

  • Compete with others—and ourselves—by participating in competitions and critiques

Thursday we'll review 50 years of club accomplishments and activities. Hear what PVCC has meant to members, and share what the club has meant to you during our open floor session or via our Memory Board.

Enjoy the Atrium photo exhibition featuring images from club members, and view the slideshows running throughout the evening.

Bring any photography questions you may have to the PVCC Help Desk, located at the back of the auditorium. Members will be available to assist you.

We'll have a raffle, and everyone's welcome to register. We’ll be giving away club memberships and prizes at the end of the evening.

And we'll top off the evening with cake!

PLEASE NOTE:

It’s not too late to share your memories and images:

  • Digital photos of events, field trips, members and anything representing PVCC. Upload your images here (put your name on the file).

  • Two of your favorite digital photos that you took. Upload your images here (put your name on the file).
