Bob will be there, Fri, 2/22, around noon to evening. Those present usually go out to eat about 5 – 6. If you go Friday, avoid 3 to 7 PM as traffic is terrible.
4. TTMT 4/26-7/2008, Puyallup, Mike S
This is the other official 4D train show, the mother of all shows. The organizers are trying hard to correct all the known deficiencies of the last two attempts. At present, this show will supplement the PSC show as the only fundraiser for the 4D, so it deserves our utmost support. You can help by doing the usual modular layout stuff, volunteering to help out (about 2 hours) or just going as a paid admission. More later.

5. Rollin’ Rails, May 10, Norm, Confirmed
The date has finally been set for May 10. This is our breakfast/ops day, so we’ll probably move them one week earlier to May 3rd. More on this later.

Norm
Participants submitted their preferences, these were compiled, and the group decided our 2008 schedule, posted below (and on the website):

7. Ops at Cherry Valley, Norm C
There will be an ops session following breakfast for the foreseeable future. Tom needs more people to fully "operate" his layout to it’s potential.
8. Logo: Mike S:
Dave A has made sew-on badges with the new logo. The actual badges are better looking than the pictures, with vivid colors. If you ordered one, they are available from Dave or myself for $2.00 each.
9. Terminal strips, Brian
If you ordered some terminal strips from Brian S. please make arrangements to pick them up or pay him if you cannot pick them up right away.
