Tuesdays@Central

New in 2008, this one-hour public program features a diverse series of speakers and presenters on a weekly basis. On Tuesday, March 18th (08), Society members John & Margaret Aitken, Fiona Alpaugh, Philip and Sherrie Fisk, and Scott & Becky Fischer, along with bagpiper Beth Anne Meriweather, and two of Fiona's grade school-aged students, braved drenching rains to participate this event. In spite of the weather, the presentation was well attended and well received and we look forward to a return visit at some future date.

Day Out With Thomas

Grapevine Depot, Grapevine, TX
(2009 Event dates to be posted when available.)
On Saturday, March 29th '08, at least a dozen Soceity members (men in their kilts of course and the ladies in appropriate plaids!) assisted the Museum of the American Railroad and the Grapevine Vintage Railroad bring Thomas the Tank Engine to D/FW for the 6th consecutive year...and a good time was had by all! Money raised through this event helps both the museum and the GVRR in their efforts to preserve a portion of this country's rich railroad history.
(Members wishing to help with this event in 2009 are asked to send email to the webmaster.)
