Re: How was 1st night?

Hi Mike,

Lorraine and I got there around 2:45 PM.  We were shortly joined by
David, John, and Scott.  Later Adrian and Rick showed up.

We had trains running from around 3:00 PM until around 10:30 PM.
From around 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM we had trains running on
all four tracks.

We had many visitors, mainly from around 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
Sometimes, the store was packed (someone said we had about 70
people at one time).  At other times, there was a moderate crowd.

A couple of people sounded like they might be interested in the club.
At least one wanted to bring a family member to see the trains and
was disappointed that we were only there on Saturdays (he works
on Saturdays).

I think we collected about $40 in the donation box.  David took most
of it to bring to the Board Meeting on Monday, along with last week's
money.

It was pleasant in the store.  The heating system got the temperature up
to around 66 degrees.  It was warm enough that the roller coaster
ran unattended all evening.

Thank you for arranging for this great opportunity for the club.
