Our October 2018 meeting took place on the 19th at the Girl Scouts of America San Diego campus. We held our bi-annual contest, with results noted in the gallery below.
Our next meeting will be on Friday, November 30. We will elect club officers for 2019. We will also host our annual auction – please bring a model kit to auction for the club. Our auction pays for our annual pizza party in December.
