Membership Renewal
It is time to let the membership know about renewal for 2022. January and February are the “grace” months. The membership fee is remaining at $40. People are able to renew using either Zelle or by check. Most banks offer Zelle as a means to pay directly from your account to the account of another for no fee. Setting up the Zelle with your bank is rather easy, if you bank via an app or using the internet and as long as your bank uses it. Use your banking app and go to the transfer money option. Zelle should appear as an option to transfer money. If so, follow their instructions to set up your account (usually you just need to include your email address. Then you can transfer the $40 to FSTOPS email (FstopsJhoe@gmail.com). Otherwise, mail your check payable to fStops Camera Club to: 25822 Rana drive in Valencia CA 91355.

​The Photo Feedback User group will be moving to the fourth Wednesday. The next one will be on January 26.
