which contains interesting articles on railroad history, current
rail news, upcoming railroad events, and, of course, news on what
our organization is doing. LRHS
Members are entitled to receive a 15% discount on
most events, merchandise and activities sponsored by the organization
including train rides on the CACV. LRHS
Members can attend monthly meetings, during which
they can enjoy a railroad related prese ntation (film, video, slide
show, etc...) these meetings give members a chance to ask questions
of the officers, talk with old friends, and make new ones. LRHS
Members have the opportunity to work on real railroad equipment -
restoring rolling stock for the museum, and when open, operating
that equipment. Members
can and are encouraged to run for office, serve on committees,
or assist in whatever manner they feel comfortable with in the management
and development of the organization and its many projects. Optional
National Membership: For
and additional fee an individual can become a member of
the National Railway Historical Society. In addition
to the benefits listed above, NRHS members also receive the "Bulletin" six
times per year, which contains historic and contemporary articles
written by individuals from across the United States, as well as
news about the activities of the more than 170 NRHS Chapters across
the country, Canada and Great Britain. NRHS members can also attend
the National's annual conventions, held in cities
across the U.S., which are always major rail fan events. The upcoming
years will be exciting times for the Leatherstocking
Railway Historical Society and its members. So, if you are a railfan,
a model railroader, a railroad employee, a memorabilia collector,
historian, or just someone who would like to see the organization's
museum and other projects become a reality, we would love to have
you aboard! Please fill out the membership form and join
today! |
