Diorama Build Challenge
It’s been fun and interesting to watch the dioramas evolve over the last many months. Tonight each builder will present their final effort.
Mini-Clinics
Ted Becker sent out a request to advise him if you have a topic for a mini-clinic.
Show and Tell and Tool Time
We encourage attendees to bring models for “show and tell” – show us what you’re working on, even if it is not complete. And, if you have a tool or gadget that you have found useful, bring it along and share it with us. We also encourage folks to bring along items for sale or swap, or even “freebies” – we’ll have a table for those items.
When? Thursday, April 14
Time? 7:00 PM
Where? Mount Vernon Senior Center, 1401 Cleveland Street, Mount Vernon

Sponsorship
The Mt Vernon Model Railroad Clinic is a NMRA sanctioned event. The 4th Division of the Pacific Northwest Region of NMRA provides funding of operating budgets for clinics in the division including ours. Thus, NMRA membership is heartily encouraged. If you are not quite ready to sign up for a full membership, you might want to try the 6-month Rail Pass trial membership for only $9.95. It includes 6 months of NMRA Magazine, plus all regular member benefits (except voting). Please let Ted Becker or Roger Johnson know if you wish to join NMRA.
