New Club Meeting Sponsor

Our good friend Mike Diaz will be giving us a sponsorship for club meetings as follows ( and probably a nice raffle prize as well !!!)

15% discount on all model goods. If you see it in FSM or Squadron, Mike will bring to our meetings the latest in tools, kits, mags, etc. Members can call in orders as well, pay at the meetings as well ( if you have good credit and can produce six forms of ID plus have won numerous times at Valley Con or the Nationals, and can sign over your house and car and first born) And also no tax !!! They will pay your sales tax. So PMS members are looking at about a 23% discount !!!

More details to come at this months meeting !!! And perhaps even a Mike sighting !!!!

PMS at the IPMS Nationals

Once again the Pasadena modelers Society took center stage at the Nostalgic Plastic display booth at the IPMS Nationals in Columbus Ohio as a number of our members built display aircraft for this years show.

Next year in Phoenix we will have an even bigger role to play as we will be the prime builder for most of the display table for Anigrand and Nostalgic.
