Scott Gould was recognized for his contribution and exceptional service to MGRS as retiring editor of the Iron Horse.  He received a mounted Certificate of Recognition and a beautiful Railroad pocket watch as a token of appreciation from the Board of Directors.

Great people, great food, great setting.  That's what it has always been about!  This year was no different.  Ever since I went to my first Annual Meeting I have always said "The lunch alone is worth the price of our dues!"  I still believe that.

It was a great gathering!  The auction was terrific and I bet we did very well.  Lots of excellent items where sold.



Below is a Saw Mill built by Barry Sanford and    electrified by Mike  Silsby which will be headed for the Maine Mall this year along with the new Bridgewerks Power Supply the Club has purchased.   

Not shown but I am sure to appear in the next issue of the Iron Horse by Art Handman will be photos of two fantastic Circus Displays which Norm Waycott and Andy Hendrickson have created.  The detail and craftsmanship is truly amazing.  They were a major display of the Open House and enjoyed by all. 

IT was an excellent Open House and Annual Meeting and much appreciation to all the good people who participated and helped to make it a success. Thank you and "All-aboard" as we look forward to another great year together!
