About Us
The Focus Photo Club was founded in 1989 for the enjoyment of all photographers, from the amateur to the professional.
Each monthly meeting includes:
- A pre-program tutorial at 6:30 pm,
- A speaker, workshop or presentation at 7pm,
- And a competition for the club members follows a short break.
Other photographic and social activities are planned according to the members' wishes.
Meetings - The Club meets at the Cox Arboretum, 6773 Springboro Pike, Dayton, OH (click here for a map) on the first Thursday of every month (except for holidays and in June when we have our annual Banquet) from 7:00 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Guests are invited to attend at any time.
Dues - The club year runs from July through the following June. Individual dues are $25.00 per year and family dues are $20.00 for each additional family member.
