Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vincent Kolis and I am the new LCCA Junior Membership coordinator. I want to let everyone know about this Saturday’s LCCA Special Event that is intended for the Junior members and all members of your entire family.
For those of you living in the Chattanooga TN and the surrounding area, I invite each of you, with your parent’s cooperation and approval, to participate with the LCCA Special Event at LCCA member Gerald Jackson’s home this Saturday, November 16 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This will be a great opportunity to get together again with the people you may have met at our convention held last summer in the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel. Please come to this event, have fun running the trains and meeting with other LCCA members. For more details, please see the note below from my father, LCCA President-Elect Al Kolis.
I also need you to send to me photos or articles about you and your toy train experiences. Other Junior Members will love to read them and appreciate others who share a common interest. This is a fun club, so please get involved and have even more fun!

The LCCA Returns to Chattanooga TN for November 16 Special Event
The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) will be back in Chattanooga TN this weekend as the guests of Gerald Jackson and his lovely wife Myra on Saturday, Nov 16, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Gerald is hosting an open house event open to all LCCA members especially for the JM’s and family members of the LCCA. We have also invited a group of families from the local Autism Speaks organization.
The Jackson’s have invited us to their home for a spectacular layout tour and hands-on operation of Lionel trains. Their permanent layout table measures 14 X 28 feet and is located in their walkout basement. The collection and operating toy trains consists of nearly 800 pieces of rolling stock and 195 Lionel and MTH toy train locomotives.
LCCA members and their friends are invited to come enjoy the layout and run some Lionel trains on the floor. We plan to have a couple of Lionel train tracks set up on the floor in the Jackson’s home. We plan to let the children operate and run the trains on these layouts. This will be a great hands-on experience for the kids of all ages to enjoy.
Space will be limited, so we are requesting LCCA members families to register and reserve their spots prior to this event. If you are interested in attending and participating, please contact either Gerald Jackson or me. We hope to see you at this family friendly, train filled, fun event. Let’s have some FUN and experience the magic of Lionel Trains!
Sincerely,
Gerald Jackson
