November was a great meeting. The chance to win free goodies I the super raffle always has people coming out of the woodwork! We had 32 members and one guest bringing in 30+ models.
NOVEMBER MEETING!!!
CONTEST NIGHT, 4TH QUARTER 2007: This was the final installment of the annual contest. Provided your humble narrator has time to crunch the numbers by the December meeting, we should be finding out how people fared in their respective categories.
SUPER RAFFLE: This is everyone’s favorite activity of the year. With about 180 models in the Super Raffle year, one ticket for each, and about 100 prizes up for grabs, chances were pretty good you were winning something. This year we did something a little different, if no one claimed a prize, including absentees, that prize was put directly in tote Speicher box. No one can argue that the soldiers won’t be putting these hobby items to good use. Additionally, several members gave up parts of their haul in donations as well. It was a very benevolent evening!

On the agenda: December
HOLIDAY DESSERTS: By the time you get this, we probably will have already had our Holiday Dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Brooklyn on December 12th. But we will be having desserts for the regular December meeting taking place on the 21st. Feel free to bring in desserts and munchies and anything else you choose, including your significant other.
WE MEAN BUSINESS THEME CONTEST: Are you ready? It's finally time for…
WE MEAN BUSINESS!!!
“WE MEAN BUSINESS” will be a theme contest honoring the memory of founding member Bert Berg. He’s remembered fondly as being a businessman, first and foremost. With that in mind, the sponsors (Frank C, Russ H, Jimmy M, Frank T, and your humble narrator) are bringing a theme contest all about PRODUCT PLACEMENT to the BPMS in December. Does anything else scream out capitalism more than the Christmas Season? With that, we’re asking the members to build something showing product placement. It can be real, eg: a jumbo jet with some markings from some airline, a race-car with sponsor labels, or you can invent something. We encourage the use of imagination! Since we are in the beginning stages, we may yet come up with some special awards, let’s say, for ingenuity. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of the sponsors, we’ll be happy to assist!We are also thinking of some special awards that may include the following: Funny Business, Monkey Business, Out of Business, Big Business, Small Business, Mom & Pop Business; Risky Business. Have fun with it!
