Our March 2019 meeting was held on Friday, March 29 at the Girl Scouts of America campus at 1231 Upas Street.
The club voted on and decided to hold periodic raffles at club meetings. These raffles will be financed by the club, will have a different theme each time, and will be held quarterly.
We had a lot of models for Show n’ Tell.
Additionally, Jerry Jackson continued his weathering seminars with a demonstration on how to use oil paints to make rust effects.
