JULY MUSINGS….

It is hard to believe that one year ago this month we were planning to spend our July meeting at Rochelle. Best of all we got to see steam in action. This July things are somewhat different. But it is wise to remember that even though everything is different that does not mean anything has changed. I say that because I got to thinking about what is it about our club that remains constant. That constant is you and the friendship you bring to each get together. With that thought in mind, remember to do your best to get to Antioch to see the set-up.

July is the time to look back and forward at the same time. Back because we are approaching the end of the club’s fiscal year and forward to the Annual Picnic and Election of Board Members in August. This year two Board Positions are open. It is also the time to remember it is not too early to pay your annual dues. This club is a real bargain.

For those of you who missed the June meeting, you missed the chance to see Charlie at one of the regular Monthly Meetings. Charlie has been a great asset to the club, and we all wish him well when he finally leaves for Tennessee and Retirement??? We all thank you Charlie.

Arrangements for the NMRA Show in Milwaukee were somewhat confused, but it is now certain that setup must be on Wednesday. Thanks to Jim O. for volunteering his time as Coodinator for this setup. Please read Bob M.’s T-Trak column; due to a last minute problem there will not be a T-Trak set-up at the show.

Have Fun MODEL RAILROADING.
