Social
Our monthly potluck and slideshow social events are held at the Seattle clubhouse at Magnuson Park on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. You can find the dates on the club calendar. Guest are always welcome!
If you wish to share photos at the potlucks, you may share up to 10 images. Each image should be 72 dpi and roughly 1440 x 1080 pixels. Bring your images on a thumb drive for transfer to the club computer. Be sure to put your images in a folder with your name on it for easier organization after transfer to computer. Instead of 8 images, you have the option of bringing a 90 second slideshow with music.
If you wish to present a longer fade/dissolve slideshow with music, they must be under five minutes in duration. To get on the schedule, contact Steve Johnson (contact info above).
