Last Month's Meeting

     We had six completed entries in the Curt Bandle/Mike Mittenzwei Build Project, with Ron Verberg winning the award for crowd favorite with his Firebomber diorama.  Several modelers are still working on their models, which will be displayed at the Fayetteville contest on November 10 as part of Eagle Squadron's club entry.


This Month's Meeting

     Lee Griffin will present his excellent primer on how to paint figures.


IPMS Eagle Squadron Bylaws

     Over the summer a revised set of club bylaws were developed by the Executive Board and have been posted for comment on the club's website forum in the General Business section.  Please take a look at these and provide us with feedback.  Final comments will be accepted from the members at the November meeting, after which a vote will be conducted to ratify the final draft.  These bylaws will then be posted on the club website for permanent documentation.
