We now have an established Garden Railroad News website where people may download the eNewsletter as well as obtain more information about our initiative. It was designed in and is hosted by SquareSpace and is independent of any single club, reflecting the collaborative multi-club nature of our initiative.
Check us out and enjoy.
Thanks,
Todd
Todd, I enjoyed reading your first newsletter. Great job! It looks very professional, is full of great information, beautiful photographs and lots of fun garden railroad stuff. Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing it with us. I will look forward to your second edition. Mark

Just an update of what’s been going on.
As of Sunday, 10/11/20 @ 6:00a.m.
The newsletter has now been viewed over 2,000 times and downloaded over 600 times.
Of the 28 clubs returning their survey, so far, 27 have had a positive response.
We have now received newsletters from 25 different clubs.
The Facebook group, through the website, now has 192 members and over 75 posts.
Loved it. How do I get it automatically, or do I have to remember to? What is contribution to keep it going? Loved Tom’s railroad. That is the basic way I would love to do once we get relocated to Durango.
Mickey Likes It…, Hey Mickey! Thanks for the kind words.
If you belong to a Club that has elected to receive it on a regular basis, you will get it through your Club.
For those who are not in a “Member Club,” the ability just to receive the Newsletter was my “pet concern” that I fought for and was successful in implementing.
I am of the mind that there should be a provision for “Members at Large” who do not belong to a Club, but want to receive the newsletter on a regular basis, and in the future, also submit articles for possible inclusion. Hence, the question in my survey, “Would you be willing to provide an email address as a point of contact?”
I’ll put this before the Task Force again, and perhaps it could happen in the future.
Thanks,
Todd
