This month's meeting will be February 23rd, at 7:30 p.m., in the Community Room of Phillipsburg Town Hall. Last month we had to call off the meeting because of the weather, we tried to contact those members who regularly attend, we apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered. Radio station WEST announced the postponement. Those members who reserved a copy of LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD by Robert Archer, and haven't already picked it up, can do so this month. Member cost is $35 each. Most of the extra copies I had are gone so I will be taking orders. The new Morning Sun books, Erie Lackawanna, Volume 3, The West End, and DELAWARE & HUDSON Volume 2 came in and are almost gone. I will be ordering more. If any member wishes to reserve a copy of any Morning Sun book, call me anytime at 610-863-6308, and leave a message on my machine.

BANQUET: We decided to mail this month's NEWSLETTER early to remind those members who want to attend our Second Annual Banquet on the 19th, you should contact the store at 454-4848 as soon as possible. We have to contact FLYNN'S on the 12th with our final count! This year entertainment will be by STEVE BARRY of Elmer, New Jersey. Steve will present a multi-media show featuring NORTHEAST RAILROADING IN THE 1980's. We would like to have a good turn out in spite of the weather! Call now so you won't miss it!

FIREHOUSE ROOF: Roofer John Todd has almost completed the roof repair, all that remains to be done is to install some roof turbines for ventilation. That won't be done until spring. At the February meeting you can sign up for a work detail which will clean up and rearrange the equipment to allow more room to work.

DUES: Your 1994 membership dues are due now, see Dave Griffith at the meeting or send it in!

JOHN WILLEVER is trimming his collection of postcards and photographs. At the February meeting he will be selling postcards and 8X10 photographs of local subjects, buildings, trolleys, stations, etc. at $5 each. See John before of after the meeting.

PETE DELIKAT would like to hear from those members who have back issues of THE OFFICIALL RAILWAY EQUIPMENT REGISTER, dated before 1976. In particular I want to copy the L&HR listings. I have the issues of April 1971 and January 1968 if anyone needs to know.
