MEETING ACTIVITIES: 
Feature Presentations/Demos/Activities:
(1) Model Kit Auction Club Fundraiser
(2) Cub Model Contest: Kit Auction Models
OK, guys, this is the big event meeting that we all look forward to each year.
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to pick up some great kits and other modeling stuff at fantastic prices or just to be entertained by our always amusing Master kit Auctioneer Jim Wechsler.
Each year over the last few years that we have been hosting club Kit Auctions our members have come through with an incredible amount and variety of stuff for the auctions. Everyone usually goes home satisfied with number of new items for their collections.
Part of the fun is that you never know what stuff will show up and how cheaply you can get it.
DONATIONS NEEDED FOR OUR MODEL KIT CLUB FUNDRAISER:
 
Donations of any new or used model kits, sprues, parts, tools, decals, modeling materials, books and magazines are requested for our club fundraising auction.
Here’s a great opportunity to get rid of some of those kits that you know that you’ll either never build or sell and those leftover kit sprues, miscellaneous parts and partially used decal sheets that are hanging around your work bench and donate them to benefit a good cause: US. Anything that you can donate will be greatly appreciated.
This is the Club’s only fundraising activity.
The money collected from the auction will be re-invested in future club activities (pizza and drinks for our Build Nights, summer and year end potlucks, raffles, special club contest prizes, local model show and contest category awards sponsorships, etc.) and will help to keep our monthly meetings FREE to all attendees.
Although we naturally prefer armor-related items we welcome all types of donations-aircraft, ships, cars and motorcycles, figures, real space, sci-fi, etc. Complete, incomplete, partially built and left over kits and other modeling-related stuff of any type are all welcome. And cash is always and acceptable donation alternative.
Remember, one modeler’s trash can be another modeler’s treasure and might be exactly what’s needed to complete that special modeling project.
Please bring whatever you can donate to the meeting.
If you are unable to attend the meeting please make arrangements to drop off your donations with either another club member or directly at the Frye Sign Co., our regular meeting location, during regular business hours.
Thank you to all who contribute. We appreciate your continued support to OUR club.
Everyone Welcome:
Modelers of all ages and experience levels, wives, girlfriends, significant others and family members are always welcome.
As always, you don’t need to be a national AMPS or SoCal AMPS member to attend and there is no cost to buy, sell, trade or just attend the meeting.
Just bring something armor modeling-related to share and participate in the meeting.
 
Standard Request: 
Since our meeting place, the Frye Sign Co., is an operating business with limited seating available, please bring any folding chairs that you may have so we can make sure that we have enough for a comfortable and successful meeting
