This month was one of those meetings wherein nothing much really gets done, but the group has a good time chatting it up.
We did have a Beauty Contest. As I've mentioned before, beauty contests are not judged by IPMS standards. The winner is the build that is the popular favorite.
We had our monthly Toys-for-Tots silent auction using kits donated by a community member. Some fairly nice kits were obtained by our members for a fraction of their real price.
The "in"famous Joe Hudson gave a tutorial on painting figures. Any time he gives a talk, we all listen. He really seems to know what he's doing!
Our usual raffle was held and as usual, the members had a great time. It was good to see several long time members who had been absent in the past, as well as a couple of new faces to the group. To them, I extend yet another warm welcome.
