2010 Craig Hewitt Chapter "Modeler of the Year"
As you can see below, Keith Pieper has jumped into the lead. "How is that possible?", you ask. Well, that's because he has entered models in a couple of contests and he has actually taken the time to fill out the Contest Points Form and turned it in! So if you have entered a contest this year, please download the form and fill it in and give it to Keenan or Steve at the next meeting.
Contrary to popular belief, any member is eligible to win the Modeler of the Year. Past winners include Craig Pierce, Jim Stute and Steve Collins, and they are eligible to earn points this year also, so you know the competition is tough. However, there are plenty of opportunities to obtain points. One of the first things is attending the meetings. You get a point for that. The second is bringing a finished model (or models) to a meeting. You get 2 points for that. Now before you start thinking about bringing everything on your shelf to the next meeting, you need to understand that you only get 2 points whether you bring 1 model or 100 models to the meeting. So sign the attendance sheet when it is passed around, and if you bring a model be sure and write down your info on the Model Sign-In Sheet
If you win the monthly meeting contest, you get another 2 points. Steve Keck has come up with some great ideas for the monthly contests which are listed below. The January contest was won by Kevin Wenker, so he has vaulted into the lead for this year with 5 points (1 for attendance, 2 for bringing a model, and 2 more for winning the contest).
