The Eugene Garden Club was organized on April 28, 1927, and became a member of the Oregon State Federation of Garden Clubs in 1929. The club was formed to stimulate the love of gardening, horticulture, and floral artistry, aid in protecting and conserving plants, trees, and birds, and promote civic beauty and community welfare.
The Eugene Garden Club is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, scientific, and benevolent purposes.
January 21st
Doors Open: 11:30 am
Business Meeting: Noon
Program: 1 pm Amateur Hour Photography Show
Last October, Jamie Hooper, a retired professional photographer and Junction City GC member, came to show us how to use cell phones to take great pictures of the garden.
Since we've had a few months to practice or dig out previous photographs and print them, it's time to see how we're doing!
To that end, we will mount an Amateur Hour Photography Show, and Jamie will come to discuss the pictures, what makes them good, how they could be improved, further tricks of the trade, and general advice. He judges the photography exhibit at the fair, so he has a good eye for non-professional photography.
- Bring your photos at 11:30 am
- We'll have some Command Strips so they can be stuck on the wall.
- We'll move into the ballroom at 1 pm, so we want the pictures already hung.
This is not a contest; there are no prizes, and you don't have to put your name on the photos if you don't want to. We hope to have good member participation for this event, so please help us make it a success.
If you have any more questions, please email Jacqui Cole at [email protected].
