NOTES OF INTEREST:

Important membership update for everyone.  With the OT&W memberships being based on everyone being an NMRA member, a new renewal process is in place.  When you receive your renewal notice from NMRA bring it to the next club meeting or contact Dave Turner for renewal.  Provide your renewal $ amount based on $35 membership dues + $19 if you want the monthly magazine.  All associate members are $8.  This way your renewal in the club coincides with your NMRA membership. This will eliminate confusion and also the possibility that you may wind up with 2 simultaneous NMRA memberships!!


Attention "N" Scalers.  There was a gathering of modelers on Friday April 2nd at Paul Betts to test run the new modules! Paul had them all connected and wired so we ran some long trains and it was absolutely smooth! The new layout is going to be a lot of fun to run.  Each of the individual members are now beginning scenicing for upcoming shows.
