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

This offer is open to new IPMS/USA members only, and documentation of your service must be provided when applying for membership....
