MMSI meeting night is this Friday, May 4, usual place -- Oakton Community College, 1600 East Golf Road, Des Plaines -- but starting a little earlier (doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the fun starting at 7:45) because it's a special night: THE ANNUAL (every other year, actually) MMSI AUCTION!

Donate items to be auctioned off by our ace auctioneer Joe Berton, or come with a couple of bucks to buy that fun modeling stuff (and books, and militaria, and more) that you never thought you'd find but just HAVE to have!

Questions? Call Mike Cobb (773-631-6315) or Dick Pielin (773-775-2587).

(FYI: There is construction on the southern half of Parking Lot D, but parking still is available at the northern end of the lot, a little further from college the building.)
