President's Update

Welcome to the TCA-Heart of America Chapter web site!

This is your new internet destination for all things to do with our chapter and model railroading. We'll always have an updated meeting schedule, information about upcoming events, and other information that you ask for here for your review. We also hope to incorporate as much member input as possible.

We're also excited about our member layout photo gallery so continue to send Chapter Vice President Don Miller (olathedonm@aol.com) some pictures and any information about your layout that you would like to share.

Please email me at tcahoa@tcahoa.org to share any ideas you may have for the site.

A couple important reminders. The first is our Lee Summit Triple Treat layout tour coming up on January 23, 2010. Members will all receive an invitation soon.

Second is our current membership reenrollment for this year. We will be emailing a TCAHOA directory out for member's personal use shortly. We still need to hear from a few members.

Last --Bob Crown has completed our portable layout and it looks great. We hope to use it again at the next Mid-America Train Show in Kansas City early in 2010.

This is a great hobby! We have great members in our chapter! Thanks for joining in the fun!

The TCAHOA Chapter is fortunate to have owners or representatives of two of our area's train shops as members. Norman and Susan Hussey of Collector's Choice in South Overland Park have been great supporters of the TCA, our chapter and the hobby for years.
