Summer News
June we have started a tradition of a Timber Rattlers social event. Donate non-perishable food gets you a free ticket. Great turn out again this year and we will continue the event again next year. This has become a well attended meeting and are hoping the tradition continues.
On August 4th thru the 5th – Brad, Joe, and Cory went to Detroit to the Region 3 Assembly. Great assembly and enjoyed a great tour of Detroit's QLINE street car line and facility, operated by a non-profit organization called M-1 Rail. This project was privately funded project to help revitalize downtown Detroit and stimulate business development in the area. Several billions of dollars have been invested in downtown Detroit over the past decade. Please see some great photos from the trip https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4cPIcTYf8QzVXZnOFZFODZmVU0 The following link is to Detroit M-1 train website https://qlinedetroit.com/
