October 31, 2013 – Your Newsletter is in the mail and is also available right HERE on your website. Bud has done another excellent job. Included in the Newsletter is the Ballot for ILSR officers for 2014/2015. Bud also would like to be sure that everyone "will figure it out that with the way that the address is printed, a double fold is the only thing that works. Also, taping the ballot closed on 3 sides would assist in it arriving intact."

And Another New Member
October 23, 2013 – We pleased to say that our recent module display at the Fairgrounds attracted yet another new member to the club. Please welcome Andrew Jones of Kokomo. We hope to get a chance to meet you, Andrew, at our coming events.
Welcome New Members
October 22, 2013 – The Indiana Large Scale Railroaders club has three new member families. Brad and Valenda Loar of Bloomington, Indiana joined us for the Pizza Train trip then came to the Train Show at the Fairgrounds and became members. Also joining at the Fairgrounds Show were Rob and Kathy Kunkle of Peru, Indiana and John C. and Mitsy Niemeyer of Noblesville, Indiana.
Welcome to all three families, we hope to see you at our November 16, 2013 Year End meeting in Noblesville.
A Special Thank You
October 16, 2013 – I would like to send out a special thanks to Chris & Leslie Schultz — SCHULTZ ELECTRIC TRAIN LAYOUTS & HOBBIES — for being there for us. They give club members great discounts and when we need help during the Great Train Expo show Chris is always eager to help. They help in donating items for our raffle at our banquets also.
THANKS : JAMES H. DRIESBACH -VP. & MODULAR GROUP – ILSR
Excellent New Modular Layout
October 14, 2013 – Fantastic job guys! I think this was our best show so far. Great big thanks to Paul Williamson and Jeff Carter for making the new inside curve trestle configuration (check the video) a reality and to Dave Beck for making us some fresh corner scenes. Thanks goes out to everyone for helping set up and tear down. Our next show is January 4th and 5th 2014. I will keep you all posted on what happens with our Dayton application request. Andy has offered to let us have a Modular group meeting at his house and I am going to take him up on that. Thanks, Andy. Once again, thanks guys.
