1/16/25 In-Person Meeting

1/16/2025

0 Comments

 
First In-Person Meeting of 2025
A smallish but enthusiastic group of local members gathered to share their modeling resolutions and dreams for 2025. Aside from any show and tell models, each member brought two models they pledged to complete, one each under these categories:
  • Shelf of Dreams Kit
    Something you started, but stalled on (for whatever reason). You PLEDGE before the group, to complete this kit but because it’s already started, you will only have until the June 2025 meeting to finish it!!
  • New Year’s Resolution Kit
    An un-started kit that you PLEDGE before the group, to complete sometime before the end of the 2025 year.
Each member publicly presented their Dream and Resolution kits and received heartfelt support and encouragement from fellow members for their commitment.
Stop Press! It’s never too late to jump in!
Even if you missed the meeting, send Tim Burke an email letting him know which two kits you pledge to build and we’ll add your name and the names of your pledge kits to the list!
For the record, here are our members’ pledged kits so far:
