Gents, just wanted to take a moment to speak to our “Raven-Hood”.  It is such a positive thing to see almost 30 guys who did not know each other (most of us) before we started the Shenandoah Valley Modelers reach out and help one another.  Just this week, John offered to take some entries for me to the National Capital Model Soldier’s Society event on September 7.  John passed to me a whole lot of pricey stuff he gave to Scott for free when we met on Monday.   Chad has made 3D items for several of us who asked him for only a cup of coffee in return.  Mark served as a head judge and represented all of us at the Charles Town Cruze-In car model contest.

I know there are many other instances of members of our club helping one another – perhaps a lot were “quiet” and done between two or three members with no fanfare.  All of these instances speak to the rapport and camaraderie between us sprue-dudes.  Go Raven-Hood!
