The Make-N-Take program was started in the fall of 2005 and has now become a well established program of the Bay Colony Historical Modelers Association. To date we have brought this program to 8 different Cub Scout Packs in 7 different communities from Middleboro, MA to North Attleboro, MA. There has been 1 Cub Scout Pack that has run this program three years in a row and two that have run it two years in a row. But one thing all 8 Cub Scout Packs have commented on is:

 

"This is a great fun event for the boys and their families-lets do it again"

 

This Make-N-Take program has seen a total of 420 models being constructed from the fall of 2005 to date.

 

Although we have run this program so far within Cub Scout Packs, is not solely a Scout program but rather a broader program open to any and all groups of youngsters. The Cub Scout Packs seem to have embraced this program and utilize because it is a fantastic family activity and it works extremely well for them.

 

The following club members have taken part in exhibiting models or related material at the past years events and also have taken part in helping the young modelers during these events.

 

John Gisetto Sr.      5 events

John Nickerson      4 events

John Gisetto Jr.       5 events

Bob Magina           1 event

 

All upcoming Make-N-Take program dates are listed within the club website in the "Forum" and updated periodically. Remember-this is a club program so, please help us in making this program succeed by taking part at these events. For further information: call or e-mail John Gisetto, better still stop by the Gisetto Villa as the door is always open to acquaintances, friends and club members.

First Meeting of Summer
Written by Administrator   
Sunday, 15 June 2008
This past Saturday Bay Colony Modelers held their first meeting of summer at the house of club member Bob Magina. We had fifteen members show up with a number of very nice completed models as well as some awesome work in progress.  Lots of good food and good time for all that came. The weather held out and the meeting was held on the deck. July's meeting will be in CT at the home of member John Gazzola.  For those of you who have never been, this is held on a lake. There will be a cookout at this meeting. Don't miss this one!ImageImage
