Our January 2019 meeting took place on Friday, the 25th at the Girl Scouts of America campus near Balboa Park.
The Model Expo committee began meeting and will continue to meet prior to the main meetings each month.
The club decided by near unanimous vote on the following changes to the club constitution:
- Elected Officers shall be elected for a term of two years instead of one.
- The post of Assistant Treasurer was approved by the club. Rich Durham was elected to fill that post.
