Announcement

An Opportunity to Help a Former Member in the Wake of the Saddleback Fire

Monica Silver
is past president of F-stops camera club. Elected in 2010 as the first female club President, Monica’s influence quickly breathed new life into the F-Stops operation. Her focus on marketing the clubs presence and capabilities, quickly expanded the clubs membership. Monica devoted herself to arranging regular photoshoots for the members and consistently encouraged members to get out and shoot. More recently Monica has continued as a creative force in photography by starting her own photographic business venture. 
We are so saddened to learn that Monica and husband Drew have lost their family home to fire. Many of us realize just how close we might be and how fortunate we are to be spared from such devastation. We hope that our contribution will help Monica and her family in some small way as they struggle to regain what fragments of their home may be recovered.  As Monica and Drew rebuild what will be a brighter future together, it is their love, their lifetime of memories, and the promise for a better tomorrow for their children and themselves, that will become the building blocks for their new home.
