I'm planning to attend the Midwest LEGO Train Show this weekend. Is there anything I/we could do to help promote the CLB there? I'll have my 4-year-old with me, and won't be able to stand in one place very long, but I could perhaps leave a stack of (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb, FTX)

The 16th is less than a week away -- will there be a meeting? Seems like a good time to be hammering out the details. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be able to make it this Saturday, but it looks promising at this point... - Joe (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.us.clb)
