Kits for Kids
Posted by mark983 on Tuesday, December 16, 2008 1:59 PM

Hey guys...as we get into the new year, I've been really thinking about putting together a "Kits for Kids" campaign.  I'm sad that alot of kids have never had the joy of buidling a model or are too busy playing video games to care.  I'm thinking about organizing an event where parents can bring their kids and build a kit together.  Or putting together an event with the local Boys and Girls Club.  I just need to know how I can get my hands on some donated or inexpensive kits to start this thing off.

If your club is part of IPMS, you can check out the following link which takes you to their Make and Take program page.

When my club does a M&T we start there, but also contact our local hobby shops (at least 30-60 days ahead of time) and I'm amazed and their generosity.  Good luck!
