Inside the July 1979 newsletter

The July newsletter describes IPMS Seattle's effort to rebuild participation after a period of declining activity. Members propose alternating contests and workshops, while June contest results recognize Steve Lewis's Mack truck, Scott Taylor's railroad gun, and Don MacBean's S-3. The chapter also announces a library of roughly 300 volumes from Doug Thompson's estate and reports on a public model display at the Renton Library.

The July meeting program centers on silver and natural-metal finishes, with Terry Elmore discussing chapter publications. Other notices cover the Oregon Regional, planning for the coming CAN-AM gathering, airshow photography and carpools, and a calendar of Northwest aviation events. The one-page issue captures the practical work of reviving the club, sharing reference material, and restoring regular programs.
