All,
 
I am not posting this to trash, insult, or hurt anyone's feelings. This  
post comes out of the frustration of a member of the BRHS. I served  two terms 
on the BRHS BOD. It is time for the BRHS BOD to set some goals for the  
next six months of operation of the society. Three goals...
 
FIRST: A new Burlington Bulletin out to the membership.  Mailed to the 
members prior to that Bulletin showing up in the hobby shops.  Nothing is more 
insulting to a member than to walk into his local hobby shop and  low and 
behold there's a new Bulletin there and a month later yours comes in the  mail. 
 
SECOND: A calendar put out on time. Did January 1 "sneak"  up on us?
 
THIRD: Before we can even think about having a joint meet  with other 
Railroad Historical Societies, we need to get our own annual meeting  set up 
and 
ready to go. We are five months and a few days away from the 2009  Annual 
Meet and according to the BRHS web page, a host hotel hasn't been  chosen. The 
ballot for the election of BOD members HAVE to be mailed  out in time for 
the members to vote and return them before the meet.
 
Remember it's the MEMBERSHIP that is important here. The BRHS wouldn't  
exist without the members of the society. The time has come for some action. 
And  yes I am putting my action behind this, Dave Lotz has asked me to help 
him  with the Zephyr. 
 
Finally to members of the society, the officers and the BOD can not do  
everything. If you can ask, what can I do to help? It maybe as simple as 
manning  the registration table at the Spring or Annual Meetings. Helping with 
the 
model  contest, clinics, helping set up tables and chairs for the swap 
meet, or just  being involved helping where you can assist. 
 
I have thought long and hard over posting this as I have seen both sides of 
 the issues facing our society. From a member to operation of the BRHS. The 
BRHS  has produced outstanding publications. We as a group need to thank 
guys like Hol  Wagner, Dave Lotz, and Mike Spoor that have made our 
publications the best  in the business. Our past Meets, as a group we had our 
own 
special "Dinkie"  downtown, we toured BN "College" in Kansas City, toured the 
BN 
Business Car  Shop, had a cocktail party at the S&I Museum with a private 
tour of the  Pioneer Zephyr, toured the shops at West Burlington... and the 
BN/Metra Shops  at the Zephyr Pit. In 30 years the BRHS has a rich history.  
 
Please remember the Officers, the BOD members, the Bulletin Editor, and the 
 Zephyr Editor can not do it all themselves. The job is too complex. Offer  
assistance.
