Presidents Report:
We will be setting up the modular layout in conjunction with Division 2 NMRA at the Greenberg show July 16 & 17.
The N scale layout is stored at the church and plans and groups will be organized for parts of the construction. Jeff will be leveling the roadbed and installing track before scenery construction starts. Jeff will be working on it Saturday the 27th beginning 8AM, members are invited to come look and learn or help.
Talks with the Mt. Historical Society. Are on hold until they let contracts for the building.
We are considering participating in the 2017 TCA convention and have applied for the Maker Fare Oct.14-15-16.
We are checking prices on shirts to wear as “uniforms” during our public displays. Dave Bodnar and Warren Ashbrook are working on the graphics. Estimated price for Tees $10 and $35 for Polo or golf type shirts. We will most likely purchase from Sunburst Sportswear on Castle Shannon Blvd.
