We had a great meeting on Friday, April 26 at the Girl Scouts campus in San Diego. We had a number of show n’ tell models and we held our semi-annual contest. Please see below for the results.
Our next meeting is our last before Model Expo 2019. Please consider bringing a kit to donate for the raffle and / or sponsoring a contest category. Model Expo is a success because of committed members like you!
