2. include a quote about photography and community, e.g.
"Your own photography is never enough. Every photographer who has lasted has depended on other peoples' pictures too - photographs that may be public or private, serious or funny but that carry with them a reminder of community."
- Robert Adams

3. examples of CSers who started out photography in CS and turned pro, e.g. canturn (steven loh), famous amateur photographers e.g. liew tong leng (big shot 2010 winner), both of whom will be giving free photography talks as part of the 10th anniversary celebration.

4. examples of initiatives by CSers. e.g. Nature Conservation by the butterfly/macro photographers in "saving the Harlequin (butterfly)" project in 2007.

3. On how ClubSNAP is important in the part it plays in fostering community spirit and growing arts in the form of photography in Singapore and even regionally.

4. How technology has now become a prevalent part of our modern life thus ClubSNAP being an "online space" brings together like-minded individuals to share and grow together.

Actually, is there anything specific that the PA is looking for? Or perhaps these four points are enough?

more suggested pointers for MOS Tan...

5. give examples of selfless CSers who contribute their time and know-how for free to help newbies in photography, e.g. cleonbus the indefatigable newbies outings organiser (more than 100 beginners' outings organised to date), and palangsi who organises regular free photography workshops.

6. honourable mention for the CS and SAM events/photowalks organising team for putting together free photo talks/events at SAM every 1st Friday, to promote photography and the arts in singapore.

7. CS provides an active and lively outlet for discussion and sharing for all genres of photography, photography equipment, technique, interest groups, marketplace, as well as allowing small photography communities based on geographical location, camera brands, photography genres etc to form and flourish.
