I had the pleasure of conducting a Make -N-Take with Boy Scout Troupe 323 in Baldwin Pa, on 16 March 2011.

This was a fantastic evening with almost 30 scouts present and great modeling challenges. I gave a short presentation on building a B-26 from Monogram and displayed the completed project. The scouts listened attentively and I kept it short. The kits provided by IPMS were greatly appreciated and a couple guys finished one and started another. I have attached photos of the event and hope to pass along the link to the scouts when posted.

Thank You all for your support.

The Make n Take program IPMS has in effect is what the club feels is the best tool our club has to bring new members into a club meeting and hopefully join. Both adult and youth level, our family membership plan seems to be the best as it covers everyone in the family.
