<p class="MsoNormal">The video of last week’s Coast Division/PCR meetup featuring LocoFi is available here on YouTube.
<a href="https://youtu.be/gQYROb8py-Y">https://youtu.be/gQYROb8py-Y</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on the discussions last week, we are skipping having a CD meetup tomorrow (June 27<sup>th</sup>) to allow us all to attend the NMRA-X event detailed below. The consensus was to have our next meetup on the 4<sup>th</sup>, and we will
proceed with that unless I get a lot of push-back that people are planning to party too much on the 4<sup>th</sup>. I am currently arranging to have Jeff Palmer, new MMR 620 from the Lone Star Region (Texas) to come virtually and talk about scenery.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have also arranged for the Coast Division to participate in a multi-divisional meet-up that starts at 10 AM PDT each Saturday. The next of these will be on July 11<sup>th</sup>. We will plan on ending our meetup on the 11<sup>th</sup>
at 10 so members can join the multi-divisional meetup. I will review in detail these events in our meetup on the 4<sup>th</sup>. One advantage of a multi-divisional event is more clinics and opportunities for our clinicians to present to a larger group of
modelers. I have attended a couple of these and they have featured some great layout tours and mini-clinics. The July 11<sup>th</sup> meetup will feature clinics by Jim Gore and Joe Fugate , this is the flyer for the meetup:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">On Saturday, July 11th, we will be doing a Zoom Multi-Division meet. The divisions participating are 2nd Division LSR, European Region, Coast Division PCR, Oklahoma Heartland Division MCoR and Northern Utah Division
RMR<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The meeting is scheduled to be at 12 pm CENTRAL and the meeting should run for around 2 hours.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The session topic is Building your Layout with the agenda in four parts:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Trackside Talks: Model railroading conversations. This is open conversation with very little structure. It is an opportunity as in a Show and Tell session to share work, ideas, resources, etc.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Layout Tours: Live tours of home and club layouts. The program is open to anyone’s layout, but we have to know that it is offered and ready so we can schedule it.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Mini Clinic Jim Gore MMR<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in">Learn how cardstock models are built and some of the trials and tribulations building new proposed kits without instructions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="4" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Mini Clinic Joe Fugate - Model Railroad Hobbyist<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:1.0in">Joe reviews his first Siskiyou Line layout and lessons he learned from 25 years of building and operating the layout. Learn how it influenced the design and construction of layout #2 now taking its place.

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>NMRA- X<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will not be having a meetup tomorrow, June 27 as the NMRA.org Facebook group is sponsoring NMRA-X, with 12 hours of live streamed clinics from 6 AM to 6 PM. Note - Eastern time! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/698404127662305/?post_id=715792655923452&view=permalink%0d">https://www.facebook.com/events/698404127662305/?post_id=715792655923452&view=permalink<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone can attend and tune in on Facebook. This is the line-up of clinics through the day tomorrow. Remember, these are all EDT, so subtract 3 hours for our time (or 6 hours for those of you lucky enough to be in Hawaii). Guess if you
are a Hawaiian night owl the Australian layout tours might be a great soporofic. They are also being recorded to view later.<o:p></o:p></p>
