Join CAMS members at these upcoming events, shows and contests.
We meet the first Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 531 Glendale Avenue, Lansing. Our next meetings are September 3, October 1 and November 5. We are not meeting in August because many of us will be at nationals.
We also have a build night most months and usually starting at 6:30 p.m. The next will be August 19 at Lansing Makers Network, 2730 Alpha Access St. Bring your latest project and all your questions and suggestions for a group chat session.
A new feature at our meetings is a silent auction benefitting the club. If you have kits you no longer want, bring them to the meeting and give your clubmates a chance to bid. If you have an item to donate, you can use this form to track bids.
