Decisions, Decisions...

February 2018 presents the ETEGL a bit of a challenge with regards to train show attendance.  Next year the Great Train Show, a two-day event at the Suburban Collection in Novi, falls the weekend after the Ann Arbor Model Railroad Club's two-day show at Saline Middle School.
In the past the ETEGL has done both shows.  In both cases we have brought the full layout to each event.  But with the two shows falling so close to each other there is concern that we will not have enough members attend both events to insure smooth setup, operation and tear-down.  
We are asking our members who are engaged with the modular layout (along with any visitors to this website who plan to attend one or both shows) to help us decide which event we should attend, or both or neither.  Please take a moment to complete the one-question survey below.  Based on the responses we receive we will know whether we have enough personnel to attend one or both shows.  Although there is no requirement to attend the event(s) you select below we hope you consider participating.  These two shows represent our biggest opportunities for outreach in Southeast Michigan and are responsible for a large part of our membership finding us.

New etegl Board Position Approved

9/7/2017

0 Comments

 
In August the ETEGL Chapter Board voted unanimously to begin the process of creating a new Board Position. This new position will be your Member Advocate. The duties that come with this position include being the interface between membership and the Board; your go-to person for ideas, suggestions, complaints and concerns; our Gleis 1 material whip (helps to gently convince members to contribute material); and show and event coordinator (no small task). The Board was also unanimous in its decision to appoint Larry Reynolds to this position. Larry has graciously accepted this appointment. He will help us work out the bugs and further clarify what this position can do for you. The Member Advocate will eventually become a voting member of the Board. During this “trial period”, it is not. When it makes sense, we will call for candidates and hold an election for the position.

Members with questions, concerns, suggestions and opportunities can reach Larry via [email protected].
