entered the theme contest! Thank you to the sponsors for giving this fun and
challenging theme to build for.
*NOTE: Any new model built for
this theme can be brought back for the Quarterly Contest in August.
BarBeQue NIGHT: It’s summertime! What
says summer more than a bbq? We had food and fun a-plenty! It ended up only $7
per person for food and there was plenty of it. Thanks to our grill-masters
Vinny and Don, and thank to all the members who contributed food, desserts and
refreshments for the night.
TROOP SUPPORT: With Hugh in 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. He was recently advised of a hub to
ship to closer to home, so that’s good. As always, donations of any models and
supplies are welcome.
RAFFLE: We had a monthly raffle with an assortment of items. We may
have another next month depending on time.
PHOTO ROSTER: Hugh can
provide the files and write up the process I use in PowerPoint and PhotoManager
to put the pages together. Can anyone take this job over? Hello? Anyone? Contact Bobby or Jeff at the
meeting.
On the agenda:

TECHNIQUES: Everyone has a different ways of taking on the challenges of
challenges of seam-lines on their models. Our panel of Frank Colucci, Ed Johnson
and your humble narrator will share their tips and tricks when dealing a pesky
seam. Feel free to share a few words with the group as well! Bring in supplies
to show, too!
