<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The discussion as to a new meeting venue continued. Recent E-mails have indicated that a serious look has been done at Huntsville Public Library. The location is good but they require a $50.00 deposit that is paid before each use of the meeting room and would be returned after the use of the room. One of the members of the chapter stated he would continue to pursue the Hobby Lobby in Madison. There was motion brought forward to 'table' this discussion and this was agreed to.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The location for the chapter's 2020 model show and contest has been made. The subject flyers was brought up, it was determined that flyers need to be ready to take to the Anniston show that is happening towards the end of the month. As this is a new location for the show, a map will have to be part of the flyer. The structure of the show will be the same as last year. There was suggestion that the status of the rules be checked and updated should there be a need for such action.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The February meeting of the HPMS was called to order at 7:05 P.M. on 3 Frebruary, 2020. There were 17 attendees. The minutes of the December 2019 meeting were read and approved.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The search for a different meeting venue is still open. The Campus 805 site was discussed. Also the Madison City Hall was mentioned but the distance for some members could be a problem. Now, the HPMS did meet at this location for a short period of time a number of years ago. Huntsville Public Library was also brought forward forward. Should we decide to use this facility we may have to change our meeting date to Tuesday. I was a member of an organization that held meetings at the library, but I cannot remember the size of the room. At this point the search continues.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The members of HPMS now have been informed, via the E-mails, that we will not be able to conduct our 2020 show and contest at the JC building. We have been offered the use of the gyms at the old Grissom High School. A site survey was conducted by Dave Lanteigne and Skip Hassler, they took photos of the gym, and posted them via E-mail. We have the use of both gyms and as of this meeting we had not put down any money and still had the option to decline. Dave and Skip were told that the cost of this venue would be equal to or less then the fee for use of the JC building. They were also told that tables and chairs would be provided. Would these tables and chairs be moved from the JC building or are these assets already at the gyms? Also should the tables and chairs be already at the gym site, what is the condition of these assets? Are they usable? Models dropping to the floor would not be a pretty sight. After discussion the decision was to firm up the August show dates and pay the fee for the use of the gyms. The decisions regarding table layout and which gym will be used for model display and vendors will be made as the show date approaches.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The allocation of $500.00 to a charity is still being pursued. There was the suggestion of donation to the veterans memorial museum among other considerations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The position of vice president for the chapter was addressed. Bruce O'Gorman was nominated for the vp position and, with no opposition, was voted to the vp position. Congratulations Bruce.</span><br />

There were 14 attendees. The meeting minutes of the October meeting were read and approved.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The subject of a different venue to conduct the chapter's monthly meetings was continued. A member of the chapter is looking into Hobby Lobby. He was not at this months meeting, but he did inform another member that there has not been progress on this front. There were other venues discussed, Straight to Ale, Campus 805, others. The subject of fees to use a new venue was brought up, but the general consensus was that the chapter could sustain the cost. The decision was made to continue the search for a new venue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The matter of donations of model kits to veterans groups that help veterans with PTSD was discussed. Basically, there has been no movement on this subject. I have talked with David Carney and he has suggested we contact 'Still Serving Veterans'.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was discussion regarding the chapter's Christmas season donations to charities. The final decision was that the chapter would allocate $1,000.00. This donation amount will be divided with $500.00 given to Toys for Tots, with the remaining $500.00 given to a charity to be determined. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The subject of election of chapter officers was brought to the floor. Basically, Andy Brezinski will remain President, I will remain Secretary, and Dave Lanteigne will remain as Treasurer. The post of chapter Vice President was not decided. In conjunction with elections renewal of the chapter charter was mentioned. A count was taken and there are enough IPMS National members to maintain our status.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The movie "They Shall Not Grow Old" is going to be shown again in Huntsville on 7 December. A request that a chapter 'movie night' be scheduled for that day was brought forward. Tom Clark asked that those wishing to attend thye showing let him know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The November Build Night will be 18 November, 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the Deep Game and Comic Book Store.</span><br />

There were 19 attendees. The meeting minutes of the September meeting were read and approved.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The HPMS was informed by Chattanooga IPMS that the matter regarding the 'special category' is resolved and that no further action is needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The shortening of the display table leg risers is proceeding and should be completed in plenty of time for next years HPMS show and contest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The matter of donating kits to help veterans suffering PTSD was brought to the table. A couple of our members who had volunteered to contact groups that deal with veterans accomplished this but have so far received no response. The group 'Big Brothers' was mentioned as was the idea of taking kits to the VA clinic in Huntsville and placing them on a table for the taking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The discussion of an alternate meeting place continued. The member of the chapter who works for HEMSI mentioned that while the conference room at HEMSI headquarters is free he would have to be there and this would not always be the case. The idea of a meeting room at a restaurant was mentioned, and while there may not be a fee involved there would be, on the part of the restaurant, the idea that the HPMS members would purchase food. The idea was broached of utilization of the party room at an apartment complex. HPMS has done this a couple of times in the past and it has worked, but location maybe a factor. The decision was to continue pursue the matter. </span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No New Business was brought to the floor.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Show and Tell </span></h2>

There were 16 attendees. The minutes of the August 2019 meeting were read and approved.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The IPMS National Convention held in Chattanooga, Tennessee was discussed. Those of our chapter that attended this event enjoyed it and spent money. Our chapter was suppose to provide the award for and judge the special category that themed around the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon. As it turned out HPMS did not judge the special category and Chattanooga IPMS supplied the award. After further discussion it was decided that HPMS would attempt to reimburse Chattanooga for the special category ward.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Our show and contest was evaluated. We a total of 302 entries in the contest and 69 entrants. We were in the positive on the monetary side. The vendors had no comments regarding the tax forms, appears they are used to them by now. The vendor table spacing did appear to be tight, so that is something that will have to be watched next time. There was discussion regarding the height of our display tables with the final result being that we will shorten the table risers to 16 inches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The subject to donate money to veterans organizations that assists in the recovery of military personnel who have PTSD was brought up. The idea that we could donate kits to such organizations was also mentioned. We did recently acquire a large amount of paints, model tools, figure kits, and figure related items, through Tom Clark, from a veteran dealing with PTSD, but who found it was not a good route for him. This event generated a question as to what complexity of kits we would donate, relatively basic 'starter kits' or or others that vary in complexity. One of our members volunteered to take point and would contact the organization Still Serving Veterans.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Business </span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There is a contest and model show Little Rock, Arkansas 28 September, not if any of the chapter people will, distance matter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Hotel Reservations for the IPMS National Convention 2020 accepted beginning 10 September. The convention will be 27 July thru 1 August 2020 in San Antonio, Texas. The convention hotel has already been booked solid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The chapter maybe relocating to a new meeting place. We were holding our meetings at The Deep on the first Wednesday of each month. The problem was it was 'game night' and the second floor area was noisy. We changed to the first Monday of each month as there was not a lot gamers on that night so it was relatively quite. For whatever reason that has changed. During the course it was mentioned that one of our members who is involved with HEMSI said one time that the meeting room in their office building could be made available. Further research will need to be done on this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The September 'build night' will be 16 September, 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at The Deep comic book and game store. </span><br />

<span class="s1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The IPMS national convention people asked for the use of our 'Do Not Touch' table signs. This will be done with one of our members volunteering to take to convention a couple of days before and other chapter members returning them to Huntsville. There was also the reminder to take flyers for our show to the convention. We have been informed that the convention will take care of the special awards.</span></div>

There were 13 attendees. The meeting minutes of June 2019 were read and approved.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The memoriam to Ed Maslin that appeared in the July+August IPMS USA Journal was mentioned. An excellent piece of work by our chapter president.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was some further discussion regarding our chapter's show and contest. We have not had input from Tom Clark about the status of a new club banner for our show. We still have a 'build session' and a meeting prior to our how and contest so we can wrap up show concerns then.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The 'Do Not Touch' placards that we place on the model display tables will be picked up by Skip and be taken to the show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since the time between the IPMS Nationals and our show is short the idea of having a special meeting prior to our show was put forward. There was also concern about attendance at our show. This has been discussed past meetings with the general view being that who ever attends, attends, and that low attendance at our show would not be a disaster.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our chapter has offered to assist at the IPMS Nationals, so far we have had not received a definite reply from Chattanooga.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The July build night is 15 July, 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at The Deep Comic Book and Game Store. </span><br />

There were 11 attendees. The minutes of the May 2019 meeting were read and approved.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tom Clark gave the members a report on his visit to Wonderfest on 1 June in Louisville, Kentucky. There were 840 entries which set record for the show. A very impressive display, much use of 3D printing and lots of electronics, lights, sound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The subject of the trophy for the 'special category' at the IPMS nationals was discussed. Initially the idea to use a trophy design similar to our 'best of show' was presented. An alternate idea based on the 50 year marking of the Apollo landing on the moon was also presented. This would utilize a representation of the Apollo command module with a photo of the moon landing and data on the capsule on a metal plate at the bottom. This was the idea that was favored by the chapter and will proceeded with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A club banner for our show and contest is moved forward with capability of being able to change the year display.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The numbering of the forms used to enter models in the chapter show and contest was brought to the floor. There has been previous discussion regarding how to alter the forms such that the model does not have to lifted or moved to read the information on the forms. After a bit of additional discussion it was decided leave the forms as is but look at the forms used by other chapters. As to the numbering of the forms, the basic purpose of numbering the forms is give a count as to how many models were entered. A suggestion was made that an entrant with multiple models could place the total number of models on on of the entry forms and then that number noted on a note pad by the chapter member working at the registration table. The final decision was that the entry form would remain the same but that numbering each entry form maybe become optional.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The subject of the use of table risers was brought to the floor. There were points, both pro and con, brought forward. The final decision was made that observations regarding the use of table risers would made at the IPMS nationals. A formal request that we not use table risers at our show was made by one of our chapter members.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> A request by our chapter president for judges for the model car contest that was part of the Mopar Club show at Huntsville Drag Strip was made.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Mention was made of the meeting of the Marshal Space Flight Center Retiree's Association Meeting at MSFC on 13 Jul, the theme MSFC 1945-1975.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Dan Thompson has been E-mailing newsletters generated by other IPMS chapters to our chapter members for quite a while. As with many other entities there is both a beneficial aspect and a negative aspect. The final outcome of a discussion on this subject was that should one not want to continue to receive these newsletters from Dan let him know and he will drop you from his mailing list.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Our chapter president mentioned that at times, for whatever reason, conversations among chapter members will commence while an individual is giving a narrative on his work during Show and Tell. Basically, his request was "please be courteous to the individual that is giving his narrative."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There is apparently, in Huntsville, a group of individuals who build Gundam model figures. They meet at the 'Lucky Dice Cafe'. Meeting time is ever Tuesday night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The June 'build night' will be 17 June, 6:P.M. to 8 P.M. at The Deep Comic Book and Game store.</span><br />

There were 17 attendees. The minutes of the March 2019 meeting were read and approved with corrections.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The matter of a new club banner design and revised contest forms for our yearly show and contest was brought to the floor. A decision was made to postpone further discussion on these two topics until a time closer to the show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A draft copy of the contest rules for our show and contest was given to chapter members at this meeting. There was noted by Tom Clark that definitions on a couple of matters are still needed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Advertisements for our show in various modeling publications will be addressed during the May 2019 time period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The chapter has donated $100.00 to organization 'Rescue Rangers of Decatur'. This is an organization located in Decatur, Alabama, involved in animal shelter work. This was done at the request of Ed Maslin's family as a way to honor Ed.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our thoughts are with chapter member Jerry Slaughter whose sister passed away recently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A visitor was at our meeting this month, Jim Babett. We hope to see him again, he builds armor and an occasional plane or two.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Correction to the March Meeting Minutes</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tom Clark did well at the Atlanta AMPS Show. While there is, I believe, an AMPS chapter in Huntsville, this was not a show conducted by them.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Show and Tell</span></h2>

There were 15 attendees. The December 2018 were read and approved with corrections and additions submitted the chapter president noted. There was no formal January 2019 meeting as January is the chapter's yearly swap meet.</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Old Business</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Tom Clark mentioned that he not received a reply from IPMS national regarding the chapter renewal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Since our funds are in good shape it was decided that we allocate $800.00 to donate to charity functions such as 'Toys for Tots'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The subject of new banners for our chapter contest is still being pursued.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> During the course of the Chattanooga chapter show members of our chapter discussed with Chattanooga chapter officials the 'special category' criteria. There was mention that our chapter will have to provide the trophy for this category, Tom Clark said he would do research on this. There was the suggestion that we find a way to mention NASA during the presentation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The subject of our contest forms was brought up. There were suggestions such as having a place to check for 'special category', eliminating the two piece form, basically giving entrants two forms to fill out, and redesigning to form such that the entrants name will be visible without having to move the model off the form. The decision was that a copy of the current form will sent out via E-mail to chapter members to generate discussion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There will be flyers for our chapter show presented at Chattanooga during the IPMS National convention. Our chapter show will shortly after the IPMS National and there was discussion about changing the show date. The final decision was to leave our show date where it is at.</span><br />
