April was another grand BPMS meeting. We had 26 members and 1 guest who brought in 12 models and 14 WiPs for a busy meeting.

April Meeting

BILL MURPHY: It was Bill’s final meeting so we threw him a little going away party. Vinny had a special cake made up, and we also have doughnuts and coffe . Bon Voyage, Sir!

WORK IN PROGRESS NIGHT: We had more than a dozen models in progress on display. Members told us about what they were working on and how they were going about it. Educational!

TROOP SUPPORT: With Hugh going into retirement Jimmy Tissot volunteered to take over the role as Wounded Warrior Project liaison. He’s gotten reports regarding what models and supplies would be most useful. As always, donations of any models and supplies are welcome. In addition, Jimmy was hoping to find some more support amongst the group for a raffle to benefit the troops. The idea would be to have a raffle in October of items donated by members and tickets would be $2 each. If donations are numerous enough, we ight break it up into TWO raffles. We’ll see. Don Illjes also found out more about a Wounded Warrior outpost at Fort Hamilton. More details to come.

RAFFLE: We had a monthly raffle with an assortment of seven items. We had something for everyone’s tastes.

PLEDGE: April was the last month to make a declaration. Now it’s time to get to work on those pledges. October will be here fast!

On the agenda: May

CONTEST NIGHT - 2Q13: Time flies. We’re already up to the second installment of the BPMS annual contest. Bring in your good work and, place it in the correct category, fill out the proper paperwork and, hopefully, collect some more votes! The numbers for the four parts are accumulated for the December meeting.

PARTS BOX NIGHT: Every modeler has a stash of leftover parts. Why not bring them in to share with the group?

Our next meeting will be on
