O Scale Central Report by David: The program is being moved along rapidly by the committee and is
gaining favorable acceptance. Nick will be heading the project.
The Indy show has been cancelled and all the planning was for naught. The hall of Fame will be held
in Chicago instead.
Old Business:
The Chicago show may actually occur if enough people sign up for rooms. It’s a work in progress.
Bruce still needs artwork for our trifold display booths. Any simple work is fine, he can have it
touched up professionally.
New Business
Board elections are coming up. We need nominees. The President, Secretary and and one
Board Member positions are open.
We have some time to come up with our standard modules as the first opportunity to show them
will be the Cleveland show if it’s not cancelled
It looks like the only furure shows for us will be Cleveland and Chicago.
A Long discussion took place concerning the O Scale Central project. There were many great
suggestions but all will take several vounteers. We must get our members to participate.
Our next meeting will be Monday, August 10, 2020 at 8:30 pm Eastern, 7:30 Central, 6:30 Mountain
and 5:30 Pacific. Please note the CHANGE!
The unusually short meeting was adjourned at 8:40 CDT.
Respectfully,
George Wallace
Secretary
A Special Meeting of the Board was held Monday, August 3,2020.
Most of the board members attended, The meeting was held by ZOOM.
The sole subject was the upcoming board election. Three positions will be open:
the President, Secretary and one board member. Mike Walter will be running for re-election
as a board member. David Vaughn will be running for President. David gave a resume of his
model and real railroading accomplishments. It would be almost impossible to find anyone
more suited to the Job. Nick Bulgarino will be running for secretary. While fairly new to the hobby,
he has had an accelerated learning curve and would do well in the job. It would be great to get more
nominees and make a real election out of it. The timeline was made aware to all.
George
