Sister Clubs / Groups

Club membership is primarily about participation.  There are annual club dues of $20 to support expenses such as the meeting hall and the sponsorship of show events put on by other clubs or IPMS/USA Chapters or even HRSM’s own events.  While membership in IPMS/USA is not a prerequisite for HRSM membership, it is worthwhile in and of itself.  The IPMS/USA Chapter Charter does require 1) that all club officers be current Society members and 2) at least five club members have current IPMS/USA membership (which is usually met by the club officers!)  To find out more about joining IPMS/USA, click HERE.
