Build Nite!

Hello,

Another month has passed and a build night is coming this Friday, August 13th, from 6-9PM. Of course, we’re having it at Fundemonium, in the Expressway Center, 579 Rohnert Park Expy, Rohnert Park, CA 94928.

For those who missed the last meeting we will be having Discord Build nights coming soon. Discord works much like a Zoom meeting with audio and video, so we can build from our benches and engage with each other via the Discord server. A future email will include a Discord invite and a date and time for the first virtual build night.

Look forward to seeing you at Build night!

Model meeting! 08/05/2024

Greetings,

Our next monthly meeting is August 5th at Fundemonium (579 Rohnert Park Expressway, Rohnert Park). Regular meeting is from 7-9PM with the business meeting beforehand starting at 6:30PM.
We will have a show and tell session, raffle and a “tips and Tricks” session with our new club Secretary James Morando.
Last month the club voted for our new IPMS Santa Rosa Board members. The new Board is:
Dean Wallace, President
Ray Kummer, Vice President
Chris Zanella, Treasurer
James Morando, Secretary

I would like to thank Dev Sodagar(president), Greg Reynolds(treasurer) and Jack Riggar(secretary) for their time as IPMS SR board members. Your dedication, experience and knowledge has been greatly appreciated.

So Long and Thanks for all the Model Kits

After two years of wrangling this club, nudging it in bold new directions and generally just bumbling through it all; it is time for me to step aside as President. It has been a fantastic experience. I’ve met so many awesome folks, been to club meetings across Region 9 and seen our own club do more and more things while continuing some classic traditions. The Tour of PCAM, the Summer Picnics and last year’s show at Fundemonium are some personal highlights. But all good things must come to an end and for me, this is the time. The last few months have seen my energy levels drop off as other life things started taking up more time and my desire to push new ideas and get more spirited activities for the club became harder to realize.

I would like to thank the whole club for sticking it out through all my mad ideas and occasionally half baked plans. Sticking with the plan to do Open Judging at this years show (something I am still very excited for and looking forward to). Buying swag, showing up to Club Auctions and Club nights, sitting down to hobby on build nights and go on the odd field trip here or there.

Mostly I’d like to thank Dean for agreeing to take up the mantle and bring his own ideas and energy, along with those of his exec to the rest of the club. I can’t wait to see what they can do!

Later Dayz
