Held open houses at our layout for the general public. By doing this we educated the public on railroad operations and the critical role railroads play in our history and commerce. It also provided an opportunity to expose young people to the engaging and education hobby of model railroading. 0 23671 We held our annual Railfair, which has been held in excess of fifty years, at a local hotel, with an attendance of over 1400 people. This provided a venue for a number of model railroad clubs to set up model railroad modules advancing the public's understanding of the railroad's place in the history and heritage of our area as well as learning how modern railroading contributes to our economy and how goods, services and passengers are safely and efficiently moved over our national transportation network. Approximately a third of the attendees were children, who learned about a valuable hobby requiring a wide variety of skills, many STEM related. This also includes providing free table space for other 501(c)(3) organizations. 0 10186 Conducted presentations at five model railroad shows using the Association's portable display module, test track, and other displays. By the use of our portable demonstration module, we gave members of the public, both adults and children the opportunity to operate trains on this display. In addition to simulating how real railroads operate, it gave the public the opportunity to learn about the latest technology in computer control through a specific application to model railroading. In addition, we introduced the public to the family hobby of model railroading. 0 828 Trains for Tots Program: This is an outreach program we have with the goal of promoting the hobby of model railroading among children ages 2-8. We feel if we can get the young children interested in the hobby, then as they get older , they will pursue the hobby even more. The association purchases small starter train sets and donates them to 501c3 charities such as Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, Boys & girls club, and others in our area. Donations typically occur during the holiday season when demand is high. In addition to exposing children to the hobby, our hope is that we give needy children a happier holiday season than they may have otherwise. 0 525 35210 Lawrence Roberts Chairman Board of Directors 12 0 0 0 James Fenner President 15 0 0 0 Peter D'Olimpio Secretary 5 0 0 0 Paul Stansel Treasurer 24 0 0 0 Matt Paquette Member BOD 5 0 0 0 Nicholas Carbone Member BOD 5 0 0 0 Ryan Boucher Member BOD 5 0 0 0 Stuart Brorson Member BOD 5 0 0 0 Ted Bockley Member BOD 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MA Paul Stansel 2 Shaker Rd Shirley MA 01464 9783371608 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 13974 21471 35445 51002 35957 86959 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 64976 57428 122404 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 122404 2882 3540 6422 0 0 0 0 0 0 2882 3540 6422 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67858 60968 128826 X RailFair 24 17528 0 17528 0 0 9336 0 0 0 0 0 17528 0 17528 0 0 9336 0 0 0 9336 8192 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Food sales at club Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Insurance;690|Software;760|Phone;243|Food;670|Misc;66|Layout Expense;6433|Outreach;675|Aucrtion Committee Exp;2187|Sales Tax Paid;1581^Total;13305^
