The Lyndon State Photographers Society and the ROTARACT Club were both voted in during the Oct. 14 meeting of the student government association. With official club statuses, representatives from both clubs are expected at the meetings to participate in decision-making, and will be able to request funding.
The Photographers Society's purpose is to allow students with interest in photography to get together to critique one another's work, share ideas, and learn about the various types, according to president Amanda Racine. The club is planning fundraising events such as a hometown series, club calendar, and a Quimby Gallery show.
With a complete executive board and advisors Linda Bryan, Bob McCann, and Tess Conant, the club is meeting this week to discuss an official meeting schedule.
Racine is encouraging anyone interested to join the club. "We plan to do big things and make an impact on the Lyndon Community. We are open to anyone, experience or no. The fun thing is learning, as well as being able to teach others what we know."
"The ROTARACT Club an organization on the Lyndon State campus based on community service, professional excellence, and strong leadership skills," said Bennett Sayles, vice president. "When you join ROTARACT you get to meet with local business leaders once a month to build a relationship with them."
The club has already begun its events for the year, beginning with the Northeast Kingdom Youth Services Shelter Walk and the local chapter's Penny Sale. Other possible events include the annual food drive sponsored by the campus activities board, and Relay for Life in St. Johnsbury, according to Sayles. He also added that there will be further meetings to discuss more fundraising activities, as many of the programs the club participates in are voluntary and not for making money.
