WELCOME TO of the South East Region of the National Model Railroad Association |

June 2010
I do want to try to get a monthly communication out to the Division. So, here we
are, I hope everyone celebrated a good Father's day, and are looking forward to
a good summer. Perhaps it would be good if it would cool down a little
bit for summer!
The website
is up and running at http://nscale160.com/9div/.
We haven't had any contact about the website, except for a gentleman
complaining that the region website was still carrying a deceased member as
leader of several committees. Come to find out that was with respect to
the Sunshine Region! We've passed on the appropriate information.
However, I would definitely like to know what your interests are, and to offer
up the website for your ideas and inputs.
Nominations
(either self-nominations or nomination of others) are open for 9th Division
officer positions (Super, Vice Super, Secretary, Treasurer) until September
1. At that point we will generate a formal (postal mailed) newsletter
with ballots for an election to be counted by October 1. For those
without email (or have chosen not to provide an email) we have phone numbers
for in the roster - except for one member, for whom we at least have a mailing
address. I will ensure that all Division members are contacted prior
to September 1.
By the way,
if you'd like to verify that your address, phone number, email, etc are up to
date with the NMRA, drop me an email or phone and I will let you know what your
listing currently is.
The OFRRA
group continues to meet on Tuesday nights. Operating sessions continue to
evolve on all three layouts. For my N Scale Burnt Hills and Big Flats, I
have created an Excel based dispatching program (mimicking the popular magnetic
panels). This past weekend I was able to get 10 square feet of scenery up
to the basic ground cover and background trees level. Backdrops are in
place, and I put up what layout skirting I had left from Washington
State. This being a bigger layout, I will need to buy more skirting.
Feel free to arrange for a visit if you'd like to see any of the OFRRA layouts,
including my own.
