Thanks, Clyde.  Since I work from home and survived the latest round of layoffs, I can continue to work from anywhere in the world where there is a telephone and a high speed Internet connection.

Next Meeting

     Sunday, March 16, 2014, 1:30 PM
     Classroom 126A, Engineering Tech Building, Wake Technical Community College


Last Month's Meeting

     We discussed the upcoming RDUCON 2014.


This Month's Meeting

     Lee Kolosna will be moving to the Great American Southwest next month, so he wishes to say goodbye to all the friends he has made in the club with a presentation entitled 17 Years: How IPMS Eagle Squadron Made Me a Better Modeler.


RDUCON 2014

     The activities are ramping up as Contest Chairman Ron Verberg and his team tick off the project tasks as the May 3 date approaches.  For our club to put on a successful contest, we will need lots of volunteers to help with the hundreds of little things that have to be done.  The better the planning, the better the execution.  Please considering helping out in any way that you can, even if just for the day of the contest.  All able bodies will be greatly welcomed and utilized.


Dues are Due

     Annual club membership dues of $20 are due by April 1.  You can bring cash or check to a meeting and give it to our treasurer Ron Verberg, or you can send it via US mail to:

Ron Verburg
