Hi Wisconsinites!
I just moved to the Appleton area and wondered if there were any other fellow
brick enthusiasts around. I just moved into a place with a nice big unfinished
basement, and I've just started unpacking my bricks. I'd love to hang out with
other AFOLs, if there are any around!
I'm interested in town/trains mostly, but I like all things Lego.
Drop me an email at daveamos [[at]] gmail [[dot]] com or reply to this post.

Hello Wisconsin,
I'm hoping to find a few AFOL's in the Madison area that would like an
opportunity to display at a LOCAL Fund Raiser/Charity event on January 29th
(short notice I know). I’m still trying to get more detailed for the event
organizer, its not me :-), and I don’t yet know what kind of display space
there may be.
Basically, I wanted to put some feelers to see if there are others in the area
that might want to help out. If you want more info, and are interested, please
email me, by this Friday, the 16th.( again Short notice I know but I've been in
email limbo for the past few weeks) I’ll try to check back here too.
Thanks in advance,
Christina Hitchcock
