PGRS Minutes 

Hi,
PGRS members had a productive and enjoyable time at Children’s Hospital.  Eighteen members cleaned and dusted the layout that the membership made in 1999.  It was apparent that Dave Bodnar does an excellent job of keeping everything running smoothly.

April 21 is the next meeting date at St. Matthias Lutheran Church, 100 Chapel View Dr., Greensburg.  Time is 1-3.
 Alycefaye Stewart’s number is 724-837-5449
or e-mail
alycefaye.stewart@comcast.net

Tina Weimer’s number is 724-832-9541 or email
tina.weimer@comcast.net.

We will be having a plant exchange.  Please bring a large rock for St. Matthias’s hillside and a snack to share.  Sandy and Jack Pyle are reducing their layout.  They are bringing a few buildings to share with the membership.  Two items (a PGRS sign and a train warehouse that has never been put together) are for sale.  And, other items are free to either the club or members.   John Weimer will discuss different types of track and demonstrate how to use a track bender.

Come and share the fun and fellowship.
