I just received this via the Ocean County Club. These are very nice people and a very worthy cause. If you can help please contact them.
The Monmouth Museum is looking for Volunteers to bring back a new and improved Annual Train Display to our Main Gallery for families & kids of all ages to enjoy this upcoming Holiday Season. But we need help. We have a workroom full of a collection of trains, tracks and landscape scenes with no skilled Model Railroad & Train Enthusiasts to assemble them. We were hoping you could assist in some way and could spread the news to anyone you may feel would be interested.
The Train Display/s will be the center features in our huge Main Gallery (See our website & Facebook pages) as a part of the exhibition…
“All Aboard! Railroads & The Historic Landscapes They Travel” November 16, 2014 – January 4, 2015, that will also feature an Railroad art & artifact exhibition on & along the gallery walls by Guest Curator Michael Froio. You can review his photography and Bio here www.michaelfroio.com.
