Out With the Old, and In With the New...
Throughout these years, the photo club's website has evolved and grown,
becoming a vibrant hub for our photographic community.
From showcasing stunning images made by our members and organizing our monthly photography salons,
to hosting insightful tutorials and articles, the website has been the heartbeat of our photo club,
fostering a sense of artistic exploration among our members.
However, as life moves forward, it's time for me to announce my retirement from my role as both the site's
"Webmaster" and developer.
This decision wasn't an easy one, as the website had become an integral
part of my weekly routine.
As I step back, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in what has been achieved.
I've had the privilege of witnessing countless stunning photographs, witnessing growth and
improvement among our members, and witnessing the photo club's positive impact on many
individuals' lives, including my own. I'm confident that the new website will flourish under new
leadership, fostering the same spirit of creativity and community that has defined the club over
the years.
I wish to thank all
who have contributed both encouragement and constructive suggestions during its development.
While I may be retiring from the website role, I will be maintaining membership in the club,
and hope to continue involvement in the club's activities.

NVPC's brand new website for the 2023-24 photo year
can be reached
here.
Where is the old website headed?
The old website (this one) will stick around for a while, so that the previous year's members (2022-23) may still access
their images, the numerous competition award pages and the photography tutorials.
As the information on some of its pages becomes dated or is incorporated into the new website, those pages will eventually be removed.
Who knows - there may be a special feature or two added before the site is fully retired. But, no promises...

Directions to the Reuben Hoar Library
Here's the rundown on the new Littleton library and NVPC's new meeting room, courtesy of Diane Douglas. Thanks Diane!
The town of Littleton just opened a new library in November 2021.
The new Reuben Hoar Library has relocated its services to the back of the
old building that you’ll see from the street side on Route 110.
The exit off of 495 is for Rt 119 >> Acton. At the first light take a right
onto Rt 110 (King St.) and the library is about a mile up on the right (Shattuck St.)
- entrance is directly across from Badger Funeral Home.
Enter the parking lot from the left side of the building and drive down to the
back of the building. You will see the new library on the far left of the parking area.
There are spaces directly in front of the entrance as well as a larger parking area
that is usually used in the daytime by the Town offices. Enter the new library and either
take the stairs down to the lower level or take the elevator located directly inside
the entrance down to the lower level.
NVPC meetings are held in the Sturtz Meeting Room A+B in the lower level.
