I'm pleased to tell you that the Executive Board has approved two initiatives aimed at active, retired and disabled service members. These are as follows:

• Disabled veterans - IPMS/USA will provide a free year's membership to any disabled veteran of a US military branch in appreciation for their sacrifices in support of our country.
• Active or veteran/retired military members - as a way of recognizing your service and encouraging your entry into or continued enjoyment of our hobby, IPMS/USA will offer a free first-year membership to any current or retired member of each Service Branch of the US Military. This offer is open to new IPMS/USA members only, and documentation of your service must be provided when applying for membership.

For details, please contact Office Manager Marie Von Schoonhoven at omipmsusa@gmail.com or apply through the website through the "Join IPMS/USA" link at the top of this page.

John Noack
President, IPMS/USA
