WOWOWOOWOWW! Boys and Girls it is time for the SECOND ANNUAL LEGO® Pull Back
Motor RACE! We are holding a workshop for the Race this Saturday Morning and

We have been doing a Family Group called All About Family for about 2 years. We
have started to do LEGO® activties on a monthly basis. This month we did LEGO
kaleidoscopes which was a FABULOUS project. Next month we are doing a LEGO®
Easter Bunny project (Lets first remember the reason for the season of Easter).
If you are interested in being added to the activities list, and participating
in the LEGO® Family activities (not sponsored nor endorsed by the LEGO® Company)
we will be doing something every month. We usually have drawn sponsors to help
pay for supplies (a neighborhood group has written us into their NRP plan and we
have also received individual donations and sponsorships) so most of the
activities are FREE and kids are usually able to bring home their projects! Keep
in touch! Sincerely, Brian email: kelley01@visi.com

(Cross-posted to a few relevant sections. I hope I haven't gone bonkers.)
[The Greater Midwest Lego® Train Club] will be displaying its ever-expanding 18'
x 30' town/train layout at two Midwest shows in the coming weeks. We've added
some new sections to the layout in recent months and hope to continue adding on
during the shows.
As always, we encourage visitors to bring their own rolling stock to run on our
layout. There will be many many other (non-Lego®) train layouts and dealers
displaying at both shows, and John and Ross Neal's Twin Cities Lego® Train Club
(TCLTC) layout (<http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/10>) will also be set up at
the La Crosse show.

Man you've got a long memory! I think it's been a long time since I've mentioned
where I am, and I haven't been too active lately. Getting more active though,
even the thought of a new Mindstorms is inspiring me to pull the old one out.
So where is the FLL tournament? Maybe I should stop by and visit.

Will you be able to show off your NXT?

Kevin,
Oooh, bad timing. That's the same day as the Minnesota State FLL tournament.
You should come next year and display you MOC's at the tourney. We could have
you, me, Doug Carlson and Benton Jackson. I wonder what other AFOL's we have in
the area?
Oh well, have fun and congrats on your MUP status.

Hi,
On Saturday January 28th I will be having a local showing of some of my MOCs
at the Owatonna (indian name pronounced Oh-wah-tah-na) Arts Center in Owatonna
Minnesota. I will be bringing mostly walkers made using RCX, micro-scouts,
micro-motors, and pneumatics.
I'm also a MUP, so if you want to come by and chat about general topics of the
new NXT Mindstorms set (the topics not covered by the NDA), please stop by and
visit.

I've got a co-worker that will be visiting the Mall of America soon... Does
anyone know what the current selection of parts/colors sold in the Mall of
America Pick-A-Brick?
Thanks!
--Mike.

As Dean posted earlier, Brian Kelly would like to sell off his bulk Lego
collection to help cover medical expenses for his newborn son Joshua, who
required open heart surgery shortly after his recent birth.
What: "Pick-a-brick" style sale of hundreds of gallons of used Lego elements.
Come and choose just the parts you're interested in. The parts are roughly
sorted by color and type, with minifigs and baseplates also separated. This
collection is from numerous garage sale buys so there should be some good stuff
in there.
When: This Saturday, May 7th at 2PM.
Where: 4239 15th Ave. South, Minneapolis, 55407 (slightly northwest of Lake
Hiawatha)
Price: Make a fair offer on what you select.
Please consider helping Brian and his family in this way. Brian can be
contacted with any questions at kelly01@visi.com.
