Presidents Report:
The Greenberg Train Show has not yet responded to our application to display
with NMRA Div 2 at the August 2nd
and 3rd
show. When Jeff gets a notification that we are accepted he will email
everyone to confirm which members will bring their modules to Monroeville.
The setup date will be Friday, August 1st
starting at 1:00.
Jeff asked the group for suggestions regarding any topics that would be suitable
for presentation at a future meeting. Any member who has an idea of something
that they want to learn about should email Jeff for future scheduling.
Another discussion was held regarding the possibility of a work meeting to get
everyone’s module in line with the FREEMO standards. Jeff will look into some
available dates.
