Today's meeting and Lunch was attended by about 40 MGRS members who met at the HomeTown Buffet at the Maine Mall. It was a great sunny day and it was very good to see a bunch of familiar faces as well as new members! I may be wrong but I believe Ernie Tarbox sponsered our newest youngest member and friends of Barry and Buckie have joined as well as Suzanne. Plus it was GREAT to see how well Dick Rubin looked after his recent recovery from a serious health issue. I am certain other members exchanged many more equally great stories that I missed. After all these big storms and a long winter it just makes you feel good to meet up with your friends again! The Spring Luncheon is a great way to do that. There was also an official meeting. and these are by no means complete notes but I will mention a few items that I do remember:
- There is an official contest to design an Invitation for this years Annual Meeting (I will post more on that later).
- VP Dick Cosgrove offered his thanks on behalf of the Club to the gift wrapping effort. The Board of Directors will provide a pin of appreciation to the ladies who ran the gift wrapping and to all the members who helped support the 2012 train display. A total of 63 individuals are eligible this year.
- Members voted to support a motion to appropriate $1,000 dollars for approved purchases of additional MGRS equipment. Approved, in this instance means coordinated directly with Carl.
- The BOD plans to create a Track Committee for this years display. If you are interested please contact Carl.
We hope you enjoyed the day.
Thanks to all who attended!
