7-2-2008: All You Need To Know!
For all those captains attending the MWCI National Competition this summer, Lars and the dedicated gang from up north have put together a 2008 MWCI NATS Info Packet. It has direction information, local attractions ("Where is the local hobby store?") and other useful information. You can get a copy now by clicking on the link below:

6-26-2008: Summer Newsletter
Just in time for Nationals: Our hardworking, underpaid editor has finished the summer issue of Task Force 144. The hard copies are at the printers and should be in the mail on Friday, so you should be seeing them Monday or so. Of course for those like me who cannot wait, the issue (in color!) is available via the usual link in the "Member's Area".
Many thanks again to Lars for putting this together. I'm off now to find a color printer!

I thought some might want to know that work continues on the restoration of the USS Texas. The USS Texas is very special to many of our captains as it has played host to several of MWCI National Competition Award Banquets, at which some of our members could be found crawling over almost every square inch of surface area. For anyone travelling down that direction in Texas, the USS Texas is well worth stopping to see.
