Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month at 7 PM at the Cougar Depot (WSU Visitor Center) in Pullman, Wa. Meetings are held at this time every month unless otherwise noted. Below you'll find a list of past and future meetings along with topics of each. We try to get a variety of topics throughout the year. The initial meetings of any year focus on getting topics and planning the Swap Meet. Topics vary widely from modeling to prototypical to historical. Presentations are usually made by members as well as outside speakers. If you have a topic you’d like to talk about let us know.

There is no set schedule for the year as of yet, but I'm sure we'll come up with some great talks. Our yearly June trip will also occur. Initial ideas have been train watching and wine or a trip to Ken Vogel's new home. We've also discussed purchasing new t-shirts for the group, and they should be available by the Swap Meet.
