New BPMS Benefit

 

New BPMS Benefit

 

Beginning in January meeting, from 5 to 7PM, members can bring a model to work on or get an opinion or advice with a sticking point.

 For the past year or so the meeting room has been opened to us at 5PM for those wishing to arrive early and “hangout and talk models.”

 Thanks to an idea brought to the club by member Eric E., who asked can we work on a kit during that time? President-elect Kevin K. started putting the pieces together and Facilities Director, Vinny R., has given the OK, providing the tables are protected, to bring your and work on your current model.

 Let’s see the kit your building pre-meeting from 5 to 7PM!
