Inside the August 1979 newsletter

The August issue announces a monthly contest, Terry Elmore's discussion of IPMS publications and library indexing, and a slide program from the 1979 IPMS/USA National Convention in Milwaukee. It reports on the Renton Library display, requests contributions to keep the revived one-page newsletter useful, and asks members to update the chapter roster.

The Milwaukee report describes roughly 500 attendees and 600 contest models, a 1/72 F-15 selected as Best in Show, a Space Shuttle speaker, a visit to the Experimental Aircraft Association museum, and the convention's Canadian social event. A member survey records interests and experience levels, while product notes list new Heller and Minicraft/Hasegawa kits. Planning also begins for the October 6 CAN-AM meeting at the Museum of Flight.
