WANSARC August Meeting

Our planned guest speaker for the night has been postponed. The presentation will be rescheduled for a future meeting.

Club members and visitors are encouraged to bring along any new projects that they have been working on. This could be a kit, a restoration project, or an idea that has come to fruition. It would be great for others to learn from your experience with a short presentation of no more than 10 minutes.
