Saturday is the Boeing Swap Meet. The 4th Division will have tables with many BARGAINS for sale. These are items donated to the 4D from estates of members and the public to see that many fine models will live on some layout in the area.
Thee sales have generated very important funds for the 4D. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP by manning the tables for awhile. please contact me right away.
