Meeting was
called to order @ 1:05 by Pres. Keith Baggus.
18 members
attended…
Keith reviewed his
plans for our overnight clubs trip to Gettysburg that was voted on
by all present.
Keith and Bruce
Watkins attended a meeting with the TCA earlier that morning and
gave a report on the progress for the upcoming event in June. We
will set up on Wed. June 28 and be on display until noon on Sun.
July 2 when we will tear the display down. Suggestion was made that
we should park @ Heinz Field and take the “T” to the Point to save
on the price of parking.
Mark and Teresa
Demyan will be back from their winter get away and would like to
have the July meeting at their home. July 22 could be the date.
Keith is going to check with them.
The Christmas Party
was discussed and Max’s Allegheny Tavern at 537 Suismon Street,
Pittsburgh, Pa. 15212 was selected. Keith wrote out a deposit check
to hold the room for our party. More information will follow.
Sandy (Hubert) Pyle
won the 50/50. And yes, she and Jack got married over the holidays.
Congratulations to them both.
Bruce Watkins gave
out information on the “Big Train Operator’s Club”. He also talked
about the TCA Convention in Pittsburgh this June.
Dave Bodnar showed
how a laser cutter could make detailed cutout signs. He also brought
a hot wire foam cutter to speed up the cutting of the foam for the
islands.
Alycefaye Stewart
gave an introduction to the members on how to make islands for the
inside layout. Everyone made one island and seem to have a good
time.
A light lunch was
provided by Joe Welling and Alycefaye.
