Holiday Party &Mini Show
December 9, 2019, 7:30pm
Newton Senior Center
Come celebrate the holiday season with us. This is a potluck event, so please bring a dessert or hors d'oeuvre to share. If appropriate, please bring a plate or bowl and if your contribution requires serving utensils, please bring those along as well. We will start the party with your food contributions at 7:00 PM, followed by the member mini-shows at 7:30 PM.
​
Member mini-shows are a way for club members to showcase their work. Slide presentations may be short - 1 or 2 images - or run up to 7 minutes (strictly enforced). The "ideal" mini-show is a collection of about 12-15 images representing some coherent or consistent message or theme, for example, a trip, a social message, or simply different examples of a subject ("Bridges"). These should be images of the quality that you would submit to a competition or print show. See specific requirement below.

Naming Convention
Holiday_<initials>_slide num.jpg
Please make the slide number all the same number of digits. Thus, if you have 15 slides, the first nine should be 01, 02, 03, etc., and not 1, 2, 3. This makes it MUCH easier to keep everything in order.)
-
Image Size
Images should be jpegs with the longest side set to 1920 pixels.
