On the agenda: February
QUARTERLY CONTEST
: This will be the first installment of the annual contest. If you built something new for the theme contest, you’re invited to bring if back for the annual contest. There’s no better time to get started accumulating some votes toward the TOP GUN!

MODEL PLEDGE: Pledge to build a model in 2010 and if you get it done you will get extra super raffle tickets. We got 13 members making pledges in January. Please make a choice and bring it in for the meeting and get on the list. Find more details in this Bulletin.

SHOW US YOUR TOOL: Not as vulgar as it sounds, I assure you! Bring in your unusual tools, supplies, materials, basically your weapons of choice that you use in this hobby. If you have a method that you’d like to share, feel free to bring in what you have and be prepared to tell the group a couple words about it.

T-SHIRTS: Charlie found a place that can make us up some logo shirts and showed us a nice design. We started taking orders last month at $13 a pop.

Meeting date: February 19, 2010
