John Goschke conducted an insightful and very informative seminar on "Working with Model Aircraft Canopies."

Dennis Sosna conducted our business meeting. In addition to talking about upcoming Modeling Shows and other miscellaneous items, a proposal was made to make a donation to IPMS' Children's Model Building Make N' Take fund. A $50.00 contribution was agreed upon. The proposal was voted upon by the membership and passed unanimously. One of our members, Jim Goldsmith was even kind enough to add $20.00 to the donation. (Thanks Jim!)
