Annual Meeting, Elections and Picnic - Saturday, September 16,  2000 The meeting starts at 10 am.   All local members are encouraged to attend, as the membership meetings are now only twice a year.  Also, please see the "Message from the Vice President" on page one and give serious consideration to volunteering for an office or the Board.  FOG members and their families who plan to attend should bring a side dish or dessert and call Marge Magruder so she can get a head count to order the fried chicken.

Middletown Heritage Weekend will be on September 30 (10 -5 ) and October 1 (noon to 5). Brunswick RailRoad Days is the following weekend, Octo

ber 7 and 8; running 10 to 5 both days.  FOG will have a booth with Park information and the art raffle.  Volunteers are needed to help man the booths for a few hours at a time.  Call Joe Motter @ (310) 432-4600 to volunteer for Heritage Weekend or Sharon Schroebel @ (301) 416-2865 for Boonboro RR Days. It's a lot of fun and you meet some very nice people.
