April 6, 2014 – Yesterday’s ILSR Annual Banquet was exceptionally well organized and presented. Upon arrival, all the ladies were given goodie bags with several unique and interesting items. After an excellent dinner, Bill Harryman presented pictures of, and directions to, his layout in Illinois in anticipation of the May 31, 2014 open house that he and Betty will be hosting. James previewed the upcoming 2014 ILSR events and President Jacquie presented all the past presidents with handmade personalized railroad-theme bookends. We finished with an amazing array of door prizes and a rail raising prize won by Wayne Smith. Congratulations to all involved for a job well done.
