Hey folks, it has been a long time – too long – since we’ve had any in person clinics. Covid really fouled things up, that’s for sure.

Well, it’s time to rectify that and get back to meeting in person. The first clinic of the year will be Monday, September 19, at 7:00 pm, at the Mount Vernon Senior Center, 1401 Cleveland Street (just south of the post office).

The even better news is that we have negotiated use of the large room at the senior center (the room where we’ve hosted those Saturday events in years past). This gives us plenty of room to spread out.

Our friends from our “sister clinic” over in Oak Harbor currently do not have a meeting space for their clinics, so we are hoping at least some of them can come and join us.

As in the past, please enter through the rear door, off the parking lot. The front door must remain locked. Please come as early as 6:30 to have time to socialize a bit and maybe help setting up chairs and tables.

Rather than having a featured clinician that evening, the plan is for you all to take part – we want to know what you have been up to since we last met a couple of years ago. Sort of a “what I did last summer” theme. Anything railroad related is OK – model or prototype.

Please bring examples of any models you’ve built – we want to see what you’ve done. Photos, too.
Anything you want to sell? Or give away? A table will be set up for just that purpose.

I will have the projector and laptop there (hopefully I can figure that out), so if you have photos to share, bring them on a thumb drive.

I also intend to ask for ideas on what sort of clinics might be of interest. And of course, I’m always in need of clinicians.

Be sure to email me at tabooma@msn.com if you have any questions/suggestions.

Ted’s internet service is down (due to the storm?) and thus he cannot host tonight’s clinic. Stay tuned for further details!

The February Mount Vernon Clinic will be NOT held at 7:00 on Monday February 15 via Zoom. Meeting will NOT open around 6:30.

Program this month will be an introduction to Arduino for model railroaders with examples of how Ted Becker is using Arduino on his layout plus examples of how you can use them. The focus of this clinic is help you decide if this is something you wish to pursue further.
