Subject: Family oriented model railroad organization

Good afternoon:

I serve on the Board of Directors for the Historic Orient-Santa Fe Railway Museum in San Angelo, Texas. We have several model layouts representing various scales, a railway history museum, and several pieces of rolling stock all located in/at the 1915 KCMO depot in San Angelo. At our Board meeting last night, I suggested one way we could expand our sphere of service to the community would be by establishing a family model railroad club, starting from scratch, in a large room in our museum. Not surprisingly, the Board is enthused, and there appears to be significant interest from parents and kids to community leaders. Great ! Yes, but as I have volunteered to undertake the development of this concept, I am writing your organization for advice, ideas, and suggestions on how to get started.
 
I would greatly appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible as we would like to plant the seeds for this community centered idea before kids go back to school in the fall.
 
My sincere thanks for any information you could get to me.
