After our last e-mail we had a few questions from people on how to get to our events page. So to clarify if you are receiving this post in your email then all you need to do is click on the 'Page Title' or the 'Post Title', doing so will direct you to our Newsletter Page. Once there you can click on the 'Events' Tab and it will show you the upcoming events!
*What is the difference from clicking the 'Post Title' Verses the 'Page Title'? 
      When you click the 'Post Title' you will be directed to our page but the only post that you will see is the most current (ie. the post that you clicked on). 
      When you click the 'Page Title' you will be directed to our page and you will be able to view the most current post and the posts that came before it.

I hope that this clears up any confusion that you might have had. If you haven't already checked our event's page then be sure to do it as there are two events that will be happening towards the end of this month!

*A Note about Railfan & Railroad and Model Railroad Craftsman - Carstens Publications (which produces these two titles) has gone out of business. Both titles have been sold to White River Productions (which publishes Railroads Illustrated and many historical society publications) so it is hoped that there will be minimal disruption in getting future issues out.
