FEBRUARY 1999 NEWSLETTER VOL. IX #2

 

This month's meeting will be held as usual at 7:30 P.M. on February 24th at Phillipsburg Town Hall in the basement, weather permitting. Entertainment will be "Reflections of 1970" by Paul Carpenito.

THANK YOU TO: Jim Stetler for acquiring 2 material handling buggies. Herb Fischer for a generous donation of $200.00. Bob Kirkpatrick for refinishing the shade for the outside light at the firehouse. Ron Locock and Bill McKelvey for manning the table at the Palmer Park Mall and to Pete Terp for his assistance in that project.

COMING EVENTS: Sunday March 7th ... Mother Seton train show.
Wednesday and Thursday March 17 and 18 ... TRACC Community Expo 99
We will have a table at each of these shows. Your help and participation in these events is greatly needed. The events are fun and the conversations are interesting. This is an effective means of promoting our organization and requires only a few hours on your part. Can you come and help for a few hours?

Please consider paying your 1999 dues soon or at the meeting. March will be your last newsletter if you are not paid up.

Our official prospectus/membership application has been up-graded and will be available at the next meeting. Pick up a few and spread the good word.

A WORD FROM THE PRES: A questionnaire will be sent with this month's newsletter. Only the regular membership will receive this supplement. Please fill it out and return it at the meeting or mail it in. We are attempting to gauge the talents and desires of all the faithful. We do listen to you and your opinions and aspirations are VERY important. Team work and solidarity are critical to the success of this group. These coming years are very exciting. Imagine seeing our C&S running the distance with passengers aboard. It is going to happen, but we need you to make it happen. A little help from everyone makes it easier on the rest, and we will all reap the satisfaction of seeing it come true.

MORE THANKS: Due to the efforts of Bill McKelvey, PRRH has rescued and retrieved the remains of a semaphore signal located on the former CNJ main line in Easton. Glenn Terminelli, Rocky Rockafellow and Pete Terp brought the artifacts to Phillipsburg with the help of the Town of Phillipsburg.

Work Parties will continue on Saturdays as needed with weather permitting. Call Pete Terp for details at 908.213.1722.

The following Volunteers have contributed 56 hours during the last month, Alan Bellis, Bob Kirkpatrick, Derek Long, Jim Mack, Bob Marinelli, Bill McKelvey, Glenn Terminelli, Pete Terp, Matt Winter, Steve Winter.

Treasurer's Report will be available at the members meeting. 1999 dues are due NOW.
