If you're interested in volunteering to assist at the convention, we now have a volunteer sign-up page.

Here's the deal--work two, 2-hour shifts, and you'll earn a nifty IPMS/USA 2016 National Convention Volunteer shirt. We're looking for volunteers at registration, in the vendor room, in the contest room, and also general assistance in directing people and assisting where needed. Here's your chance to lend a hand.

There will be a server update to ipmsusa3.org tonight at 8PM Eastern time - this will affect the Forums, the Gallery, and the Calendar/News/Member web sites.  It should only take 30 minutes or so.

We have begun a project that will hopefully become a useful tool for our members. We are compiling a list of hobby shops to incorporate into an online, graphic database (much like the one we now have for upcoming contests and shows) containing all the pertinent data for local hobby shops recommended by our MEMBERS. Ideally, this list will consist of more than just the locations of local Michaels or Hobby Town franchises and will provide members with info about what makes the store of interest to our hobby, hours of operation and a description of what the store carries.

The March 2016 Executive Board Meeting Minutes have been posted.
