MeetingsThe Ship Model Society of Northern New Jersey meets the 4th Tuesday of every month at the Millburn Public Library, 200 Glen Ave., Millburn, NJ, from 7:30-10:00 PM. Guests are cordially invited. Some of the highlights of our meetings are: The Tech Session, which may be a demonstration of a modeling technique, a pertinent video or occasionally, a guest speaker; Show and Tell, where members show their works-in-progress or finished works; and Books and Publications. There's lots of time to chat with fellow members during the coffee break and after the meeting, when a number of members repair to the Millburn Diner for a late night snack and great conversation. Some notable special events are hosted by SMSNNJ during the year. The October and April meetings are designated "Bring a Model" Night, and all members are encouraged to do just that. Given the wide range of interests and talents within our membership, almost anything can show up--and does! But best of all, in December, we hold our "White Whale" auction--a chance for members to place on the block those tools, books, pieces of wood, fittings, and like modeling ephemera that they no longer want. A good opportunity to recycle the stuff bought at the last auction.
