Call me if you have questions: Russ Segner 206 200 2211
I am unable to attend the meeting tomorrow morning so would like to share my thoughts:
I am a relatively new member and joined NMRA to 1) get to know nearby modelers, 2) improve my modeling through clinics and sharing with others, and 3) have an opportunity to visit layouts. I miss the face-to-face Tacoma clinics but am enjoying the virtual programs.
Responding to the questions in the post:
1. Zoom meetings work for me. They have given me an opportunity to participate with folks in Olympia, Mt. Vernon, and Whidbey Island that I would have missed if the presentations were face to face. It would be great if we could somehow figure out how to continue a Zoom option when we return to face to face meetings.
2. Evenings work best for me. Saturday mornings tend to be family time.
3. Future programs: Layout tours, how-to clinics, and prototype info from a modeler’s perspective are all great topics.
4. Not sure how this might work but it would be nice to have an opportunity to visit with and get to know other folks in the group. Not sure if this would work best as part of existing Zoom meetings (sign-in early or stay late to visit) or possibly as separate events. Maybe they could be tied in with a Show and Share session.
Thanks, Bob
