Subject: PLEASE READ: Holiday Setup Downtown

 

Hi everyone.

 

The board has approved setting up the layout over the holidays in an open retail space in downtown Austin.  I created an event document on the website.

 

As I mentioned in an earlier email, we have obligated to man the layout from 11AM to 5PM on 5 Saturdays from November 14th through December 19th.  Can you please sign up on the event document and indicate in the “Other Notes” section of the document what day you will attend so that we know we will have minimum coverage?

 

In addition, the layout will be available to members every day from November 14th through the 19th (and maybe a little longer than that).  The hours when the key will be available are 11AM to 7PM Mon – Saturday and 12-5 on Sunday.  I can make other arrangements for the key if you need it outside those hours. 

 

This will be a big event for us.  We are going to try something new.  In addition to selling a raffle for a starter set over 5 weeks, we will also allow the public to pay to use track 4.  I will have a small TMCC freight set on Track 4 which people can pay $5 to operate for 15 minutes.  The cost and duration has not been finalized.  I hope this will go a long way towards generating income for us so that we can move ahead on three pending projects (a lift/bascule bridge section for entry into the layout, plexiglass windows around the entire layout, and the remaining 45 degree corners).

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
