About
According to the club’s history page, the idea for the club began in a nature photography class at Nashville Tech, with early meetings held at the Cumberland Science Museum with seven members. Over the years the membership grew and meeting locations changed, moving through venues such as 100 Oaks Mall, the Donelson Senior Center, First Baptist Nashville, and Dury’s. The history page notes that the club approved by-laws changes in June 2015 to add an Assistant Treasurer role and to pursue 501(c)(3) status, after which it became a tax-exempt organization. The site includes a listing of club presidents dating back to the early 1980s.
