Any members who want to help with setup or teardown are welcome on Thursday or Saturday.

The SHMRRC visited the D.A.R.E. Model Railroad Club in Venetia.  The layouts were impressive and the volunteers and parents are doing good work helping kids to gain interest in model railroading. 

We have not yet contacted Div 2 to see if they plan to apply for the August Greenberg Train Show in Monroeville.  The dates for the show are August 2nd and 3rd.  Applications are being taken now. 

If anyone has an idea for a future road trip please notify the club.  The McKeesport Railroad Club and Bill Osbourne’s layout were suggested.
