For those coming in on Friday, I will try to obtain some special
hotel rates and a suite or lounge type area to gather in.
There is no cost for this event but I would appreciate it if you
would let me know if you are coming so that I can make timely
adjustments for the size of the group. I would also appreciate
donations to the Model Train Center to help offset my costs. Any
comments on what to include in this and future events and your input
on how often S scalers in the SE would like to hold something
similar to this event (quarterly, semi-annually) possibly rotating
to different cities (Nashville, Atlanta, Oak Ridge, Ashville,etc.).
