March 2023 – Meeting Recap
Club Business
Casey Rupley and James Barrett gave a presentation on the future of ASM digital content. In the near future, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube will play a prominent social media role to complement the existing website. The goal is to grow membership, become more engaged with the hobby and community, find the next generation of modelers, and for ASM members to get to know one another.
Joe Lavender provided a fantastic, in-depth presentation on the Bismarck and the activities that led to her ultimate demise. He has a wealth of information and can assist with technical accuracy for anyone planning a build on the subject.
A revised contest schedule has been posted. Additions were made for the rest of the Sponsored Contests throughout the year; points contests remain unchanged.
