We're doing it again. That's a good thing. Newer members, and perhaps some older APC folks may not know this, but last year APC self published a book. It's actually still available here: http://ping.fm/fjegD
It turned out fairly well, and generated a small amount of revenue for the club, and individual members. We are planning to do it again, but there are a few minor changes. To help improve the overall look of the book, I'll be performing some image post-processing for people who allow me to do so. Blurb has done some things that make this a little easier. If you have a fair deal of confidence in your monitor calibration skill, you may want to opt out of this step. Another change is the timing. Last year, we published after Christmas. This time around, the book should be shipping in time for the holidays. In the interest of inclusion, nobody will be left out. It doesn't cost the club anything to print the book, so there really isn't an upside for excluding people. We want to publish a body of work that represents the current level of achievement for the club at this point in time. Everyone is encouraged to participate.

For complete details, send an email to auburnxc (at) gmail.com with APC BOOK in the subject line. The body of your message can be something as simple as "I'm in!."
Please respond by November 29.

Thanks, Don

Winterfest Photo Contest?

Call for volunteers! APC is looking for members who may be interested in helping out with a tentatively scheduled (TBA) photography contest, held in conjunction with Winterfest. A lot needs to be done to put this together. Right off the bat, we would like to have at least one person representing APC at the Winterfest planning committee meeting, held 9:00 Tuesday, October 11, at the BID office in downtown Auburn. Please drop me a line if interested.
