As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and due to the fact that all community buildings are closed in Monticello, Iowa until April 16, the Alexander Lippisch Chapter IPMS/USA has decided to cancel Fleacon 16 for this year.
News
Sorry, but because of the Latest Virus Updates. We must Cancel our Event for March 21.
Hopefully we will have this again at the same time next year. Thank you for your understanding and Support

CaloosaCon, originally scheduled for Saturday, 28 May has been postponed. Please stay tuned for a new date once the current health scare is over.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
IPMS/Champlain Valley is cancelling our CAN/AM Con '20 show and contest which was scheduled for April 25, 2020. Like most other cancellations this year, this decision was based on CDC guidance to cancel all events which would have been attended by 50 or more persons. We're hoping to slide this event to 2021, with further details to follow.
While we discontinued the IPMS-sponsored Make and Take program last year, we recognize that some of our Chapters have elected to support MnT activity at the local level. On a trial basis (subject to cancellation) we will provide a $100 post-event grant to any chapter holding a MnT event to offset their costs. Director of Local Chapters Dave Lockhart will be creating an application form for this program. Photos and writeups of the event activity will need to be submitted along with the application to obtain the grant. If you have any questions in the interim, please reach out to our DLC at DLC@ipmsusa.org

- Active or veteran/retired military members – as a way of recognizing your service and encouraging your entry into or continued enjoyment of our hobby, IPMS/USA will offer a free first-year membership to any current or retired member of each Service Branch of the US Military. This offer is open to new IPMS/USA members only, and documentation of your service must be provided when applying for membership....
