November 2014 Meeting

   Happy Holidays To You! 

       High Plains Modelers met once again under a chilly, starry winter sky to huddle in the warmth of our meeting room and talk all things plastic. We held elections as we do every November, ushering in a new vice president and treasurer. Let's give those guys a big hand for helming the ship:

   TonyW. --returning as President for 2015

   Chip C.-- Vice President

   Michael A. -- Treasurer

   Chris N. --returning as Secretary for 2015


     Early reminder: Club dues will be coming due (ahem, pardon the pun) by February, 2015 for the new year. Help support HPM's operations for another year of great modeling.

   There will be a regular monthly meeting on Dec. 30th at 7pm in our usual room at The Ranch. We will forego business and dedicate the last meeting of 2014 to an informal Build & Bull session to close out the year. 

    Not much else to report for now. We hope everyone has a great Christmas with happy and healthy family and friends and lots of packages that rattle under the tree. ;)

   Check out these great appearances from the November monthly model contest:

Cody's Mercedes race car. Finally, something yellow!
