Dear Earl,
This is Lee Mccarty, President of the Cuyahoga Valley S Gaugers of
Cleveland Ohio. We will be attending the annual S Spree in Dayton, Ohio in ea
rly May and would be glad to pass out your flyers to the S crowd there.
Several of us are planning on attending the convention anyway( I have always
wanted to see the Chickamaugua and Lookout Mountain battle sites) and would
be happy to promote the national convention. My home address is Lee McCarty,
8725 Broadview Rd., Broadview Hts., Ohio 44147 .
Just send me one flyer, I have a copier and can make more myself.
See you in August.

In an effort to spread the word about the NASG Chattanooga Convention in
August, I am looking for S gaugers who plan to attend train-related events
in the Southeast. I can supply promotional flyers I have prepared on WORD.
My flyer has the photo representing the NC&StL yellow-striped boxcar that
will be the NASG Convention car. I think this car will get a positive
reaction to a lot of regional modelers who get exposed to it. And a few of
them will be S gaugers. (This car was a great choice!)
I just learned that the NC&StL Preservation Society has scheduled their
annual reunion in Jackson, TN on the weekend of May 18-20. If you plan on
attending this event or either Friday night or on Saturday, would you be
willing to distribute these flyers? If YES, please give me a reply.
My offer is not limited to the NC&StL event. If you would like to take
promotional flyers to other train-related events in the Southeast, please let
me know and I send you flyers.
My assumption, whether correct or not, is that most American Flyer
operators and collectors in the Southeast are not members of the NASG. Thus
we
need to beat the bushes to let them know about the NASG and this convention
that is taking place in their back yard. So if you live in the Southeast
and can help, please do so.
Note-my interest is in the scale side of S. But I hope we can attract as
many S gaugers of all interests to the Chattanooga NASG. This should be a
great convention with all that Chattanooga has to offer. Here are a few of
them I can think of just off the top of my head:
- Chattanooga Choo-choo
- NMRA Headquarters and library
- Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
(including our own convention train excursion into north Georgia)
- Many civil war attractions
- World class aquariums
- White water rafting
- Great Smoky Mountains National Park within 2 1/2 hour drive
- Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry within 2 hour (+) drive
- And many other area attractions
Thanks,
Earl Henry, Nashville
