Our August meeting took place on Friday, August 30 at 6:30 PM at the Girl Scouts of America Campus on Upas Street. Manny Gutsche gave a presentation on the special and best of awards from IPMS Nationals in Chattanooga. We also had a lot of show n’ tell models.
Just a quick note – if attending a meeting and bringing a model for show n’ tell, please make sure to fill out a model information form and give it to Ethan, the webmaster, so that he knows what you built.
