Nicoll’s introduction to the Club goes back 50 years to May 1972, when he attended the banquet at the Normandy Restaurant as the guest of Kevin Martin. He became a Club member in September of that year. Nicolls served extensively as an officer in the Club: VP in 1978 and 1979, President in 1980 and 1981, and Treasurer from 1982 to 1988 (doing double duty as Program Chair from 1982 to 1985). A second tenure as President followed in 1989 and 1990. Nicolls twice served as chair of N4C conventions hosted in Siouxland, in 1984 with Randy Williams and in 2000. In 2000–2001, he was President of N4C, and in 2004, he received N4C’s Founders Award. Hardy is also a past president (1986 and 1987) of the Club, but most members know him best for his current essential role in so many Club and N4C
End-of-year awards were also presented at the banquet. Mitch Keller received four end-of-year awards for his digital and print photographs. Douglas Conrad received three awards. Denis Hirschman received two end-of-year awards. Ron Nicolls, Teresa Hebert, and Lucas Harbeck received one award each. Douglas Conrad was named the advanced level Photographer of the Year, and Denis Hirschman was named the entry level Photographer of the Year.

The Sioux City Camera Club’s annual 2019/20 awards have been determined and the announcement will be made via the WebEx video conferencing system. Once again, Mitch Keller has set it up and will be hosting it. As in the past, Doug Conrad has made a video slide show of all 2019/20 year end entries and all of the winners will be announced in the video slide show. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic we did not conduct a year end print competition this year, only a digital competition. The video conference will be held on Thursday, June 25th starting at 7:oo p.m. Instructions for joining this meeting are the same as our previous video conferences and can be reviewed below. You should not need to download any software to connect. Simply click on the up-dated link below, which Mitch will activate at 6:45pm CDT: https://mside.webex.com/mside/j.php?MTID=m22562f0e5eacce8a09bdafe84a1c20db If you are, for some reason, asked for a meeting number, enter 145 211 9038. If you are asked for a password, enter SCCC. You should not need this information, based on the testing we did earlier. The video conference will be configured to automatically mute your microphone.

Because the coronavirus situation in our area is still growing, the Camera Club Board of Directors voted unanimously to cancel the annual banquet this year. Also, due to this unique situation, the board also agreed to cancel the annual print competition as well. The club will, however, hold its annual digital competition and conduct and announce the annual Photographer of the Year awards. New this year, the board has decided to give out an entry level photographer of the year award based on accumulative point total during the year. After the digital images are judged, the results will be announced as well as Photographer of the Year awards via a video conference meeting later in May, with a date to be determined. The deadline for submitting your year-end digital entries will be Saturday, May 9th. Awards will be presented for the following categories:

As you know, the Sioux City Art Center is closed until further notice so we have temporarily lost our meeting venue. As a result we have been looking for alternatives to continue holding our meetings and with the help of Mitch Keller, we have been testing a means where we can conduct our meetings via video conferencing. This will allow you to connect via an internet connection and view what’s happening through a live stream on your home computer. As I said earlier a group of us has tested this method and it worked very well. Our next meeting, Thursday, March 26th will be held using the WebEx video conferencing system. The images for both the digital and print competitions will be displayed for all to see as our judge chairs read the comments and results. You should not need to download any software to connect. Simply click on the link below, which Mitch will activate at 6:45pm CDT: https://mside.webex.com/mside/j.php?MTID=m05ba86f4e55eaa847c21a3a85cf0bc3f If you are, for some reason, asked for a meeting number, enter 929 152 165. If you are asked for a password, enter SCCC. You should not need this information, based on the testing we did earlier. The video conference will be configured to automatically mute your microphone. Attached below is an image of the WebEx control panel. (The text labels have been added so you will not see them during the video conference.) If you want to speak so others can hear you, click the Mic button so it turns gray. When you are done, click it again to mute yourself. The button will turn red.
