Due to the worldwide public health emergency, upcoming physical meetings of the LA 3-D Club have been suspended. However, we are holding virtual meetings and we’re still holding our scheduled competitions.
The February virtual meeting of the LA 3-D Club will take place on Thursday, February 18 from 7:00pm – 8:30pm.

The meeting will include a club member “Show-and-Tell.” We would love to see your favorite 3-D image, or stereoscopic item. Member’s are encouraged to share an item of interest with the rest of the attendees.
LA 3-D Club archivists David Starkman and Susan Pinsky will show some of the recent additions to the new online archives.
And we will have some very special guest speakers:
