| Kelly Quirk Region 5 Coordinator April 6, 2012
Hello again IPMS Region 5, We'll start right off with our Region 5 "Of the Year" awards. Wow, I received a LOT of nominations this year! Lots of work for me, but I love it - considering it was just a couple years ago I was begging for them. I really appreciate all of you who made nominations, I'm very happy to see this level of participation and it is wonderful to see all of the great things the chapters have been up to over the past year. I once again had to make some very tough decisions, and once again had to call in some outside, non-biased help to get me over the fence, it was just that close in all 3 areas. Big thanks to all of you who were nominated, keep up the excellent work and make those nominations again next year. Okay, on to the winners.... 2011 Region 5 Chapter of the Year: IPMS/Fort Crook - Omaha, NE Congratulations to those clubs, and really congrats to all you guys. I'm very proud of what is going on in Region 5! I will be making a formal announcement in person at the Regional Convention this year in Kansas City. Speaking of which... The IPMS Region 5 Convention is next month! Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 19 in Overland Park, KS, which is just south of Kansas City. The show will be held at the Holiday Inn, and they are offering special rates for those of you who want to stay the night. You can find ALL the info for the show on our web site: www.ipmswcmo.org Your host, IPMS West Central Missouri, is still seeking trophy sponsorship to help out with the high cost of this show. Thank you to the following clubs for their generous support: Alexander Lippisch, KC AMPS, Prison City Modelers, Plastic Surgeons, Great Plains, Lakes Region (x2!), Gateway and the Hawkeye Modelers. Thanks for stepping up guys! Lots of models, lots of vendors, huge raffle, sure to be a good time! This weekend I will be in attendance at the OmaCon. Hope to see some of you there. Also this month we have a show in South Dakota on the 14th, hosted by the Black Hills Scale Modelers. And finishing up the month will be the FleaCon in Cedar Rapids on the 28th, hosted by Alexander Lippisch. Good luck to all clubs! Have a happy April everybody. Kelly Quirk PS: I hope all you Chapter Contacts are sharing all this with your clubs! |
