Big Bend Railroad Club

Arriving at our club tonight for our monthly open house, we were met by a disturbing sight, in the past week someone placed several Parson and Lanihan campaign posters around our building. As a 501(c)(3) charity we are prohibited from supporting or showing preferences toward any political person, party, or proposal. To do so would mean the loss of charity recognition from the IRS and possibly even a penalty. We did not give anyone permission to place these signs, nor did the railroad who still owns the property our building sits on.

This November is the 50th Annual National Model Railroad Month; how will you celebrate it?

November 3 is also our scheduled monthly open house, same times, 7:00-8:30 PM, and still free admission. We still have to pay utilities and maintenance on our layout and building, so ta-deductible donations are accepted. This December we will only be open on two dates, the first Tuesday evening (Dec. 1, 7-8:30 pm) and Saturday afternoon (Dec. 5, 2-4 pm). Next year we plan to continue to hold our monthly open houses. Watch our schedule for updates.
