Hello NOVA Club Members,

With just days to go before the Model Classic 2026 at Fairfax High School this Saturday, we are in the final stretch—and we still need your help to make this event a success.

We still have several key volunteer gaps that must be filled, especially for the raffle. Without enough support, we may not be able to run the raffle this year. As you know, this event is critical to funding our club’s activities since we do not collect annual dues.

If you are able to volunteer, please sign up here:

Even an hour or two of your time will make a big difference.

This show is a reflection of our club, our passion, and our community. It takes all of us working together to deliver the experience we are known for. Let’s come together and make this year’s Model Classic one of our best.

Thank you for your support,

Scott Bricker
President, IPMS Northern Virginia
