November 2018 MMPC Announcements

“Pere Marquette Steam Engine” Field Trip – Saturday December 1, 2018

This is a reminder that MMPC is sponsoring a field trip to photograph the Pere Marquette steam engine operated as the “North Pole Express.”  We plan to meet at 8:30AM in the Burger King parking lot I-69 and M-52. That will give us enough time to get in place before the train arrives on its way north. All are welcome to join us.

MMPC Holiday Dinner

The annual MMPC Holiday Dinner is scheduled for Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. Main dishes including vegetables and salad will be provided. You may bring a desert to pass if you choose. Please respond to the event on Facebook so that we can get a count of members planning to participate. A slideshow of MMPC members’ photos from the 2018 MMPC Photo Challenge will be running during the meeting. Big Cookie theme will be “Man It’s Cold Outside.” Be prepared to participate in a group photo. We will meet at First Presbyterian Church, 510 W Ottawa St, Lansing, MI. Please join us.

MMPC Photo Challenge

Thanks to all who have contributed to the MMPC Photo Challenge. A reminder that the November theme is Frost. A gallery of the photos is on the web site at http://mmphotoclub.net/monthly-challenge/. If you do not use the Facebook group, send your entry by email to mmpclansing@gmail.com so that we can post it to the Facebook page. Discussion of the photos, beyond simply liking the picture, is encouraged. Note that the rules for the reward drawing have changed. To encourage participation and to not penalize a member that was unable to post in a given month, each member that posts in a month will receive a ticket in the gift card drawing. A member that posts in all 12 months will have 12 tickets in the drawing. Upcoming themes for the photo challenge are:

  • November – Frost
  • December – Holiday Lights
