Our August business
meeting will be held on Sunday, August 10th at UN Tower after the
caboose rides (11:00 - 4:00) and grounds cleanup. If
we have enough help, cleanup should be done within 60-90 minutes. The meeting
will begin immediately thereafter. Everyone will be tired after a long day of
work, so the meeting will be relatively short.
July's business
meeting will be held at 6:00 PM Saturday, July 12th at the UN Tower in
Mahoningtown following our all day work session there. And there will be food!
We plan to eat at 4:30. The society will furnish hot dogs and drinks. Everyone
is asked to bring a covered dish or dessert and a lawn chair. The meeting will
end in time for us to attend the fireworks display in New Castle.
Our June meeting will be held Saturday, June 14th at 6:30 PM at the West
Pittsburg station. This will be our first meeting of the summer season at the
station. These meetings are usually interrupted by noise from passing trains,
but no one ever complains! Don't forget your lawn chairs and cameras.
MAY 10THmeeting
will be held at the HOMEWOOD VFD SOCIAL HALL AT 6:30
PM due to chances that the weather may still be cool in the late pm.
ON SATURDAY MAY 3RD 9 am to 6PM
