The meeting was held at Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church, President Jeff Graybill presiding.
Due to the closing of the Monroeville Convention Center we expect that the Greenberg Train Show will not occur until a replacement location is found. Therefore, it appears that the next show after the Carnegie Library will be in December for the Mt. Lebanon Winter Market and Holiday Celebration. A show at the Heidelberg Fire Station in October is still possible depending on the weather. Members are encouraged to bring suggestions for other events happening in the area that might benefit from our presence to help increase attendance.
The Carnegie Library (300 Beechwood Ave, Carnegie, PA 15106) show is this weekend, March 1st and 2nd from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm each day. Setup will start at 6:00 pm on Thursday, February 29th. The library will provide staff to stay until setup is completed. Tear down will start at 5:00 pm on Saturday.
