History
The Photography Association of Wenatchee was founded in 1981 and met at the Cumbo residence on Western Ave. Originally, it was called "The Wenatchee Color Slide Club." After four or five years it was suspended and then restarted in East Wenatchee where it met for another five years. In 1991-1993 we met at the Wenatchee Valley College Lyceum. Finally, we found a home at the Wenatchee Valley Museum Swing Room in 1993 and have remained there now for over a decade.
At that time we changed the name to the "Wenatchee Photography Club" and met only once a month instead of twice. In 2004 the name was changed again to its current name, Photography Association of Wenatchee (PAW), to cover more divisions of photography and increase membership by attracting new members. These divisions include: color slides, black and white slides (AFGA Scala 200), color prints, monochromes, 35mm infrared film, polaroids, movies, videotaping, and digital photography. Today, this non-profit organization is a Photography Society of America (PSA) club (#030131), going into its 23rd year, averaging about 15 members.
Our next meeting will be held 7:00 PM, Monday, May 12, 2008 at the East Wenatchee Shari's Conference Room, 501 Valley Mall Parkway.
