Let's open our minds and envision the ideal future BMCC. Here are some questions to start the thinking process.
Here is our current mission statement as it is in our Member Guide:
The Berkshire Museum Camera Club is an organization where people interested in picture-taking and in the improvement of their knowledge and techniques of photography can meet other photographers. Education and competition are the Club's primary aims.
