April Fools Issue of the NCC Focus 2010

Now that this

4th annual

April Fools

edition of the

Focus has gone

to press, your

hard-working

editor can relax

a little. Watch

some TV, catch

up on my read-

ing, have a

snack, etc.

Now is a good

time to look back-

wards over the past

year and see where

we have been.

We are finally out

from under a tough

winter. Brrrr!

Getting to

the offices

of the NCC

Focus has

never been

easy.

But this winter

was harder than

usual, especially

that last little bit.

Like every other

group the NCC Fo-

cus has been hit by

budget cuts. Our Fo-

cus staff here has

been really great

about accepting my

selling of the Focus

commuter bikes on

Ebay.

We have also

had to out-source

some of the nicer

Focus office

amenities.

Because

of the bad

economy we

have been

able to hire

some over-

qualified of-

fice staff,

like this

speed typist

here.

Some of our staff has saved money on clothes for work

by covering up with their pets.

In club news, we now have an Enforcer to make sure that

events start on time, after Joel has called the meeting to order

The new “WTF?”

photo category has

proved to be very

popular. It also in-

cludes photos

where there might

have been some

digital manipula-

tion.

The NCC Board rejected having a special humor

category of images. Too bad about that.

Because of that these images of a jet-crane and a re-

luctant bath-taking cat will never be seen. Oh well.

Let’s hope

we can all

keep our

heads above

water in the

coming year,

not worry too

much about

the future,

and take

some great

photos!
