Rob, This is a great gesture and way to honor one of the best in Z scale. Only question is how does one know how much to request without sounding

Loren, That is entirely up to you. You request what you feel you need. We will be capping some expenses such as lodging and gas. The goal is to help offset ...
Thanks for the comeback Rob. It is hard to know what to ask for when it comes to asking for monies. Whenever I fill out a registration form for a GTE or WGH...
Correct. We know many in our groups that are very limited income and for example, could not make something NTS or the say the Z Convention. There are others...
In the past, similar grants from Z Track and possibly elsewhere were used predominately for covering transportation of modules, renting a UHaul truck to...
