Want to thanks all the folks of IPMS/USA for
their support to our group. We also wile to
extend a special thanks to the members of
Region 11, Florida, for having had us in their
ranks. They are not physically close, but from
the bottom of our hearts we feel part of
Region 11 and still working with them.
Presently we belong to Region 13, the virtual
region and we will continue doing the very
best, like it is our tradition. A very special
thank to Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Dave, Mrs. Mary
Jane and B. Hester, to thrust me the pass 5
years. And thanks to the Local Members to
believe in IPMS and what this
represent.
To continue celebrating the 5 years we are
opening a new web page. www.ipmspr.org, I
hope to continue serving always as I’m doing
at this moment. "For the Modelers, By
Modelers"
This page exists to share with all IPMS what
IPMS-PR is about-- our members, our work
and our local sponsors.

| Short History of the IPMS/ Puerto Rico Charter Founded 2003 in San Juan, by Mr. Roberto Espada past member and Mr. Jose Rivera actual member, this charter started implementing the concept of organization, based on the IPMS-USA rules and regs focused in embracing scale modeling at its best. During the first 2 years, we tried to keep the charter working but we struggled to survive, mainly due to need of good leadership. The third year, Mr. R. Espada retired from the chapter and G. Mustafa actual member and president joined, and together, with his vision and keen leadership style, we started to grow and progress. Five years later, IPMS/Puerto Rico Charter has an extensive calendar of event's, exhibitions and shows, and our very own official web page with great information, images of events, links, organizational mail to all members, and even a group uniform that represent us well. We embrace the diversity of thought and of people in our ranks. We have a female modeler and a 4 year old, son of one of our members, that has already built (assisted of course) his first model. Thanks to a solid team, united by a strong passion for scale modeling and directed by a great leader, IPMS-PR is on the road of success for years to come. Thanks to our webmaster, Jose Rivera, this great web page is available to everyone. With this short history we illustrate that even the most serious of organizations need good leadership, team work and focus in order to raise the bar of excellence and become an organization of choice for scale modeling. With a winning team, we open the future of scale modeling. Join us. |
ABOUT US
Message from new president:
Jorge Becerril
It is with great honor that I take the
directorship of IPMS-PR. This great club
has been in the forefront of scale modeling
in Puerto Rico since 2003 and it is my
humble purpose to guide the club to
remain as the premiere scale modeling
group in PR and the Caribbean. I will be
following the footprints in the sand left by
our former president, George Mustafa,
whose outstanding work brought this club
to its summit. My vision and mission is to
continue adding new and different
endeavors to the club and take on, face
first all the challenges in the quest to
maintain this club at its finest hour. I count
with the support and friendship of each and
every member of the club and know that
everyone will continue alongside the
leadership. I'm very proud to have this
opportunity to lead IPMS-PR into
tomorrow. I'm available to everyone and
at your service. "Together we can and we
will".

Message from the ex-president
George R. Mustafa
My good friends, I have had the opportunity to
serve as president of this great club for few
years. It was an honor and a privilege to work
alongside each and everyone of you during
that time. But, change has to happen and in
this case, I had the opportunity to become the
IPMS-USA Region 13 coordinator, and position I
take with great honor. Due to that, I had to step
down from directing the local chapter and I'm
very confident that the new directive will
continue to do and excellent job. I leave the
presidency of the club in the excellent and
most capable hands of Mr. Jorge Becerril,
whose devotion and passion for modeling and
highest degree of integrity, dignity and
leadership will be the shining light to keep this
club sailing into tomorrow in safe waters. I will
remain around and always available to each
end every member of this club, both old and
new. Thanks everyone for your votes of
confidence and for allowing me to guide the
club all this time.
