We had a great meeting on Friday, June 29, at the Girl Scouts of America San Diego campus on Upas Street. Gary Williams presented a check to the San Diego Model Car Club with their portion of the money we received from IPMS USA for Model Expo. We also discussed what worked and did not work at this year’s Model Expo. We did our usual Show n’ Tell. Finally, David Weeks did a presentation on the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo recovery vehicles.
