Some areas of growth would be in Membership (in Numbers and participation), Visability (to Hobbyists and the General Public), Resources (Physical and Monetary) and Skills (creative, etc.) and others.

Whether a Member of this Venturer Crew, another Club, an Individual Hobbyist, or, a member of the general public looking to help a youth group's memnbers because of the enourmous potential to turn out great adults in the future, any effort to help is appreciated. It can be small or large, it can even just be your being there supporting an activity by your presence.

You don't need to be a Member to assist us.

1. We can use unused Model Trains and accessories, any size, any condition. We have youth that would benefit from used 'HO' Scale equipment, since they don't have and can't personally buy it. It's repairable, it's for parts, or it can be used as a teaching tool.

2. Supplies such as leftover artist materials may be used for construction or building equipmant and Scenery.

3. Participation (or presence) in any Open House, Show or other Public Program.

4. Contributions. Everyone is asking for money these days. Well, it helps! Be it the loose change thrown in the Coffee Cup, or a sizable contribution. It will stretch. We pride ourselves in being 'Thifty' [It's that Scouting influence].

5. Membership. If you would like to spend an hour or so on an occasional Friday evening with our Group as a participating Member, you are welcome to join.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP...we will help you find a way.

2. A donation of a small 'HO' Scale Layout provided Scenery parts and generated ideas for the future.

3. A few 'Athearn' kits of Rolling stock gave a couple boys the first craft quality possesion of their young lives. It was theirs, and they learned to take care of it.

The word THANKS is small to the benefits some things have generated. But it just wouldn't be right not saying THANKS!
