July was light meeting. When summer
comes to town, everyone else leaves! We had 17 members and no guests who brought in 11
models.
July
Meeting
PREZ FOR THE
NIGHT: Resident Ray Whitton wasn’t able to attend the meeting so
our Veep, Gordon Cheung, did a great job of holding down the fort for the
night.
EUROPEAN TOUR
THEME: Two of our sponsors, Joe and Ray, discussed some of the
finer points of their theme contest with the group. More details HERE. Feel free to direct any questions or comments to the
sponsors directly.
PUTTYING
TECHNIQUES: Our
esteemed panel consisting of Frank Colucci, Ed Johnson, and your humble
narrator, described to the group our methods for making those pesky seam-lines
in our models go away. While we all have similar goals, everyone has a
different approach to taking on the challenge. I think we all went home with a
couple new tricks learned. It’s always a good idea to run these basic skills
clinics periodically.
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.
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:
August
CONTEST NIGHT
3Q14: The third installment of the annual contest is upon us. It’s
a good time to try to accumulate some extra votes. Each vote puts you closer to
being the first winner of the FRANK
TRIPOLI AWARD, for the member who gathers the most votes during the year.
Remember, you are invited to bring back your entry for the ASIAN INVASION THEME CONTEST if it hasn’t been entered in a prior
quarterly contest.
pIZZA NIGHT: Everyone loves a
delicious tradition. Every August brings the BPMS PIZZA NIGHT! Bring your
appetite, but not your friends, to our all-you-can-eat pizza feast. Be sure
your dues are in good standing, or else no pizza for you!
RAFFLE: We may have a monthly raffle with an assortment of items
depending on time.
