Guidelines for professional vs. amateur:
If someone has a business name and/or is promoting their work or themselves for hire in any manner excluding word of mouth between friends, they should be considered a professional. For example, if a person has a website where the intent is for showcasing their work for profit, or if they advertise their work through business cards, newspapers or periodicals, they should be considered a professional.
If someone is getting paid for taking pictures on a rare occasion via word of mouth through mutual friends, or as a result of the E-Club photo contest, or performing an occasional "paid service" job, or selling a picture or two now and then, does not make them a professional.
Election will be held on March 11 at the Annual E-Club Meeting. Candidates will run for a two year term. No experience required – just a willingness to serve. If interested, contact Cindy Ford, ext. 7681 or Kelly McCoy, ext. 4383. Submit a short bio describing the area you work in, how long with L-3, where you live, past activities with the E-Club, and events/activities you would like to see in the future.
The grand prize winner for the 2009 photo contest is Cristina Boone (B&W railroad tracks). 2nd place winner is Lore' Dickerson (bald eagle). The 3rd place winner is Cristina Boone (motorcycle).

More than 250 human bodies and organs will be on display at the West End Marketplace, 603 Munger Street, through April 2010. Similar to the “Body Worlds” exhibit at Fair Park in Dallas three years ago, this exhibit examines the complexities that lie beneath the human body through a polymer preservation process applied to real human bodies. The exhibit includes nine galleries with an up-close look inside the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, circulatory, and other systems of the human body. Some examples include organs damaged by over-eating, lack of exercise and smoking. Some specimens are placed in athletic positions to offer viewers a better understanding of how the body works.
