We’ll provide the burgers, hot dogs, condiments and beverages. You are invited to bring a potluck item. It’s a time for fun and good discussion.
Use the Cascades or Coast Starlight to and from the meeting. Car shuttles will be provided from the Olympia-Lacey Amtrak Station. Contact Lloyd Flem ([email protected]) if you need transportation from the station to the park (a 5 minute drive).
The meeting will begin at 1:00pm, with Roger Millar, the WSDOT Secretary, speaking. Mr. Millar will be followed with the presentation of the Tom Martin Award, various reports including information about our upcoming meeting in Pasco. Concluding, Tony Trifiletti will be making a presentation about “Our Train Stations”.
We look forward to seeing you there.
"The National Association of Railroad Passengers has done yeoman work over the years and in fact if it weren’t for NARP, I'd be surprised if Amtrak were still in possession of as a large a network as they have. So they've done good work, they're very good on the factual case."
