7/23/2006:  Posting news here:

 

Members:  You may have noticed that a lot of the news that gets posted here is related to the railroad.  That is because the webmaster works on that crew, so he knows what they are up to.  But the railroad is only part of our organizaion, and we'd like to post more about all of the WGHSEA's news.  If you have news or annoucments you would like posted on the website please feel free at anytime to drop an e-mail to Tom von Trott at prr643@hotmail.com

Land Purchase:

The Organization made a very important decision at the 4/19/2006 General Meeting. By a large majority the membership voted to proceed with the purchase of the land that we have resided on for the last 47 years. This will be a new challenge that we will all have to face together, but one that will hopefully bring our organization to the next level, and ensure our future for the next 50 years and beyond.
