[Accrs] Christmas Pot luck and some updates

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

All,

I'd like to remind everyone of the Christmas pot luck activity on 
December 7.  Bring your favorite food and share with everyone.

There is a rumor going around that the Fair has notified us that we must 
vacate the facility by the end of 2020. *NOT!!* There is no truth to 
this rumor.  As mentioned in the business meetings, we have been working 
on a proposal to the fair to clean up and improve what we have and 
request a 4-5 year guarantee of our existence in the the current 
building which will give us the opportunity to further improve our image 
and value with the fair and enhance the fair experience.  The goal being 
to possibly secure another location on the grounds if and when our 
building is removed.  I've attached the proposal which was submitted to 
the Jerome last Tuesday.  He was off all week so won't review it until 
next week.  We hope to meet with him before Christmas to further 
discuss.  If Jerome accepts a significant part of the proposal, it will 
take some effort on everyone's part to to make it happen.  We can't just 
set back and be resigned that it's all going away.  The half a dozen 
people who have been working in the strategy can't make it happen by 
themselves.  Let's see what kind of reaction we get from Jerome and 
we'll go from there.

I am leaving tomorrow on a two week business trip.  Since I get back on 
December 7 and we are celebrating one of my sons birthday that evening, 
I will miss the pot luck.  Everyone have a great holiday season!

Gary
