The Gaithersburg Camera Club primarily serves upper Montgomery County, though members come from all over. The club is meant for camera enthusiasts of varying skills and interests. Our goal is to help you become a better photographer and give you a place to meet others who share your passion for photography. Our programs and activities provide information and instruction for all skill levels. Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings with or without a member. June 11, 2018 - 6:30pm The GCC Board of Directors would like to encourage all club members to consider attending the awards banquet which is scheduled for June 11th in Community Rooms B and C (actually one large room) in Rosborough Center at Asbury. We're sure those who've attended past banquets would agree that it's a fun time. Guests are welcome and encouraged. Many members (but certainly not all) bring their spouse or significant other. It's a great opportunity for them to meet your fellow club members who perhaps they've heard about and to see examples of their work.
