Do you remember with affection the Science Center train show when it was held at Thanksgiving, the start of the holiday season? Due to factors beyond our control that show was moved to a different date. Now we have a new show at a new location, MOHAI the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle over the Thanksgiving weekend and as always we REALLY, REALLY need your help. This is the first year for this show and we need to make a good example. There will be three modular groups in attendance as well as a small number of single person displays, all from the 4th Division.

How can you help? On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving we need folk to assist in directing on-site traffic and man the building doors to facilitate rapid and orderly load in. On the days of the show, Friday, Saturday and Sunday we need members to assist those running the displays so they can take a break from time to time. On the Sunday evening, from 5 pm we need help in directing on site traffic and manning the building doors for a quick and orderly tear-down and pack out.

The hours are:
Wednesday 11/21 – load in from noon until done.
Thursday 11/22 – turkey day, feet up.
Friday 11/23 – the show from 10 am until 5 pm.
Saturday 11/24 – the show from 10 am until 8 pm.
Sunday 11/25 the show from 10 am until 5pm and load out until approximately 8 pm.

We need your help for as little as two hours on any one day to all day each day at your discretion.
For their part MOHAI are providing us a break room and refreshments for our members on all days.
Offers of help, please call Ed Ives 425-391-3313 or e-mail Gresley7@gmail.com

With a successful show and your help we will be invited back next year and hopefully this will become a Seattle tradition as well as a needed revenue stream for 4D.
