February 2004 Meeting

We held our second meeting on February 21, 2004, from 11AM - 2PM, at
Barbara Comstock Morse Elementary School, in Elk Grove. Approximately 30 people attended, including a dozen children.

Our activities at the meeting included:
Looking over our "event kit" from Lego, which included enough items to fill up Roy's car.
Building with the club brick, and using creative methods to clean it up.
Checking out MOCs (My Own Creations) brought ny members, including Jason's mech, some pod ships, and a variety of other creations. Mark also brought his DCC controlled trains and had a loop with switches running.
We checked out photos from the BrickFest Lego convention in Portland, which was held the previous weekend.
We held a building contest, with kids teamed into pairs. Each team was given an identical set (4097 Mini Robots) and one hour to build whatever they wanted, without the directions. Every participant received a small Shell set as a reward. We had some amazing creations!
