A Change in Format
At the July board meeting, a discussion about the format of our monthly meetings came up. Fact is, we’ve been using the same monthly format for literally decades – some type of presentation or presentations on railroad or model railroad topics. For a variety of reasons, the consensus was that it is time to try a different approach.
So, we are going to experiment with some “theme nights” for our monthly meetings. A Theme Night could be a project of some sort, or a discussion on an important club topic, or an operating session, or a traditional presentation, or whatever we want.
Basically, we are taking the second Wednesday of each month and starting with a blank slate and filling it with an activity that is engaging and fun.
