It helps with the planning if you can let me know if you plan to participate in this club meeting.
Send me an email to atsgrr@gmail.com or give me a phone call at 435 656-3449 . Thanks.

Please volunteer to provide the railroad video or to provide the clinic for our January meeting.  If you are able, interested, and willing please let me know so I can inform members of the club.

If you would like to bring some refreshments please let me know.

Meeting Time in February:

Some members of the club prefer to meet on a week night rather than on a Saturday.
Let’s plan for a Tuesday Night meeting in February. Since the 3rd Tuesday is Valentines day and we don’t want to upset any of our valentines shall we plan to meet on February 21?
Unfortunately I am committed to teach classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings so I can’t sponsor this weeknight meeting.
Please volunteer to host and sponsor the February weeknight meeting!.
Several of the members expressed an interest in holding the meetings at a venue where there is a model train to see and discuss.
Let me know if you are able and willing to sponsor the February meeting and I will share the information with the members and post it on the web site.

Looking forward to seeing you all in the new year.

Jim will be playing trains this Saturday, Dec. 31st, after 2:00 PM. Sort of a mini open-house. His address is 2166 Thomas Trail in Santa Clara. Here is a Google Map to his house.
