As
President, I regret to inform you that the Directors of the Society prudently
voted not to sponsor Rail-A-Rama, our Railroad Hobby Show, for any future seasons.
The reason being a lack of qualified volunteers to support and staff the varied
activities associated with presenting a show of this magnitude. For some think
it only involves greeting participants and selling tickets on the show date,
that is only a small part of the whole story. Kudos to the many members who took
an active interest in making these past shows a reality. We extend our gratitude
to the varied dealers, displayers, layouts, media and organizations that pulled
together to make the previous 42 shows come alive for our members and the
community. If sufficient volunteer interest develops from within the ranks of
our membership, we may have the privilege of sponsoring the 43rd edition of
Rail-A-Rama at some future date.
The shows from 1979-2010
have been possible because a few members like YOU
have stepped
forward to volunteer to keep us on track. If you wish to see this type of
activity continue in the future, your attention is requested to review our
available volunteer opportunities to see how YOU
could lend a
helping hand to the various levels of involvement in your SOCIETY.
