  (Anyone else want to put their names in?)

5.  Regular meetings?: 1st Sat, Noon-3pm each month, except July, Aug, Jan.

6.  Short description of a typical meeting: 
    Starts with an informal greeting and discussions of what the days 
    meeting will be like or any other announcements.
    Then there is a lecture or demonstration or projected show of some kind
    usually Realist format, with occasional ViewMaster and twin 2x2's.  
    We've had a multiple style mounting demonstration (realist, 2x2, 
    viewmaster),a demonstration on the latest 3D video and PC applications,
    a talk about preparing slide shows, The PSA Travelling Stereo Salon, 
    the PSA Stereo Sequence Exhibition, and other shows.
    A couple of meetings showcase member slides, scoring optional, with 
    informal narration by each member. It is very informal, so that if you 
    wanted to bring a realist slide or two (or other format, with advanced
    worning) they would be happy to show it and even offer a critique if 
    you'd like.  Halfway through the meeting there is a stand-up and 
    stretch, and have some fruit, cookies, crackers, cheese, meets, coffee,
    etc. break.  Then we get everyone to sit back down and try to finish up
    the slide shows by 3 pm.

7.  Membership fees: $10 year but it will go up and include family rates

8.  Appr. number of members: 50-60

9.  Name of newsletter (if any):  I think we're working on a name.

10. Newsletter subscription fee: N/A

11. Number of non-members subscribing to newsletter: N/A

12. Other comments: We are blessed with some very talented and proffesional 
    photographers, and excellent projectionists (on a Brackett Disolve).
    The food is brought on a volunteer basis. 
    We usually have a summer outing where we have hands-on instruction and
    advice.
    We also have some very opinionated but curteous people which makes for
    some interesting conversations.
    We have a library (as Elliott mentioned) with over a hundred pounds of
    books magazines, newsletters, and now repair videos.
    As other groups, probably only a third (max) are actively 3d-ing with 
    the others being satisfied onlookers, and newbie stereographers 
    (like me), and a few friendly 3d collectors.
    The club has been in existence for decades but I don't know how long.                                                
                                                        

Elliott or anyone else from PSSCC, please correct this information if need be.
          
Sincerely,
Grant Campos
