Getting Ready!

 We are getting ready for another wonderful Holiday Season.  This will be our 3rd Main Mall Train Display and they continue to improve each year!  Part of getting ready is ordering Vests and Nametags.  We only do that once a year and we are approaching that time again. Name tags and vest are worn all year around for any MGRS event and even if you do not go to the Mall we encourage you to get a vest if you would like one.   

    We expect to offer the same prices as last year.  The price of a vest should be $25 dollars and the price of a replacement nametag should be $5 dollars.   All new members should receive their first nametag for free.  If you lost yours or you want to order another, you can order a replacement and that way we can combine the orders and you can get it at a lower cost.  (If we ordered one tag for you separately it would cost a minimum of $15 dollars to have it made up). 

The price is assuming that you will pick up the items either at Carls or at the Mall Train Show.  If you require that they be mailed to you, please include the cost of mailing.  If you want either item you should contact Carl Churchill. (See current issue of Iron Horse).

The only other helpful hint I can give is that you should order a vest at least one size larger because they have always run pretty small.  If you do order a vest, patches from the previous two years of MGRS at the Mall are included.

I would also encourage you to order an extra nametag.  Once I get mine lined up I like to keep it pinned on the vest, but I would also like one that I can carry in my pocket and pin on my shirt.  Or you may want a nametag with your nickname on it.  Either way it is a good time to think about getting an extra.  Thank You!
