-JANUARY-
PROGRAM - FRIDAY, JANUARY 19,
2001
The program this evening will feature the ever
popular Don Woods who will present us with a great flashback
program of slides taken in 1973 of the Santa Fe Railroad in
Texas. Not only did Don get slides of freight trains, but he took
early Amtrak with SF Warbonnets and SF passenger cars. Also to be
shown are his shots of unused SF passenger cars sitting in a long
line on tracks near Galveston. Don got great shots of these
forlorn cars, of which many were taken over by Amtrak (especially
the stainless steel ones) for use on their new trains. This
should be a very interesting show. Be sure to come.
DUE TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY THERE ARE NO MINUTES FOR THE MEETING OF DECEMBER.
THE PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE CLUB TRUSTEES THAT THEY ARE THE NOMINATING COMMITTEE FOR THE COMING ELECTION OF CLUB OFFICERS AND TO BE READY AT THE JANUARY MEETING WITH NOMINATIONS. THEY ARE TO BE SURE TO CHECK WITH THE CANDIDATES FIRST BEFORE NOMINATING THEM.
TREASURER RON LEITCH WISHES TO REMIND THE MEMBERS THAT CLUB DUES IN THE AMOUNT OF $10.00 FOR THE YEAR 2001 WILL BE DUE. You may send a check in that amount to Ron at 18707 Ferncliffe Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44135. Make it out to: The Cleveland Railroad Club. Or if possible, due to Ron not being able to make the meetings, you may pay Dick Novak who will forward it to the Treasurer. Your membership card and receipt will be mailed to you.
HERE AND THERE by the Editor
Former member Henry Green informs us that he is now
82 years old and will relinquish his drivers license for a
citizens identification card as advised by his social worker.
With the money saved by not driving anymore Henry plans to buy a
tape recorder so he can mail his song tapes to the songwriters.
His sister Brenda (who attended our Anniversary dinner several
years ago) is doing quite well and enjoys the trips the center
takes her out on. Henry's address is 36853 Ridge Rd, Apt 402,
Willoughby, Ohio 44094-4167. *** THE NORTHERN OHIO RAILWAY MUSEUM
has put out its new catalog for 2001. It is a beautiful printing
job and is a great source of many new and used rare traction and
rail books. For a copy contact the museum. *** FROM THE CLUB
TREASURER; Our club financial accounts consist of a checking
account with Charter One Bank, and a passbook savings account
with the Dollar Bank, whom, as you well know furnish us with free
meeting headquarters each month. However, Charter One Bank has
now instituted a new $5.00 SERVICE CHARGE each month for all
checks returned back with the monthly statement. Despite a call
by me last month to inform them not to send the checks but to
keep them on record (we do not write many checks) the statement
this month arrived with a $5 service charge for two returned
checks. For some reason it was impossible to call the bank on
their number (I will do so next week) to check on this matter. I
would request that a motion be made at the meeting for the
Treasurer to close out the Charter One checking account and
transfer the proceeds to a checking account with Dollar Bank,
thus combining eveything in one bank. This way the funds could
easily by transfered between the two accounts if needed. I do not
know however if Dollar Bank also imposes such a charge.
