To: All IPMS Chapters and IPMS members
From: IPMS Executive Board
One of
the benefits for which IPMS is known is the "Make-N-Take" program. Without
cost to chartered chapters or participants, IPMS has relied on donations
from manufacturers and distributors to provide models for Make-N-Take
programs sponsored by clubs or members. Thousands of kits and associated
building supplies have been distributed since the program began.
Manufacturers have ceased supplying these kits to IPMS free of charge, but
several have continued to support our efforts by providing a much
appreciated and large discount on the purchase of models. Even with this
discount, the last order for 900 kits priced out at $3,908.89. If IPMS
were to continue supplying kits and supplies at this rate in 2009, the
cost for Make N Take could approach the $10,000 figure. Shipping costs
have also increased recently, with charges last year totaling $961.97.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
In the
past, various clubs have provided financial support specifically for the
Make N Take program. Your club is invited to join this select group. If
your club or you as an individual member wish to donate to the Make-N-Take
program please feel free to send your contribution directly to the
National Office Manager at the address provided below. IPMS will continue
to recognize donor clubs and individuals in Society’s printed and
electronic media.
