Nevada County Camera Club Gives Back!! In the creation of the text for the exhibit “Culture In Focus” in collaboration with the Arts Council, we asked NCCC members how they give back to the community. With very limited time to respond, these are the events and organizations that you said you have assisted as a photographer …….WOW! So many in fact that we couldn’t include them all in the text for the exhibit, but not too many to share with you via this newsletter. I thought you’d like to see the list - and there are probably many more that didn’t get included. Impressive!
