Arizona Mustang Car Club supports MLS

Just a note that the Arizona Mustang Car Club is coming to MLS on Sunday December 11th at about 11am for a train ride and to drop off toys. The club is sponsored by Power Ford in Scottsdale and for each member that brings a new $10 or higher value toy during this cruise to the park will receive a free pizza lunch at JoJos Pizza paid for by the general manager of Power Ford, Lonnie P. When we have cruises like this we normally get 12 to 24 cars attending. More info: http://arizonamustangcarclub.com/event_toy_run_12-2011.html

> Dear Mr. Waterworth,

> I wanted to take this time to thank you for all the hard work your group at the Maricopa Live Steamers Club did today. My boys and I had a GREAT time! We enjoyed the train ride and great food. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel very special. I know all of those who were able to come today appreciated your dedication to the men and women in the Armed Services.

> The highlight of our time there was at the Model Railroad Building. David Kampf spent a lot of time with the boys. He showed them all the different model trains and let them know what they did. He showed them how they make the models from the landscape to the trees. He even let them go "inside" a mountain. He had them looking for the vampire bat and the lost camel. When they found them, they were so excited. He even took them outside to the Garden Scale area and let them hand feed the goldfish. In fact, two goldfish now bear the names Zachary and Dawson. Mr. Kampf's personal attention made this visit even more special. We are looking forward to coming back next month to see Santa.

> Thank you again for having this event and I know we will be telling all our friends about your great organization.

> Sincerely,

> Mrs. Wiggins

From Raymond McDaniel

After all of the hard work, we're finally seeing the "fruits of our labor". Over the last two work sessions, we placed and ballasted all of the rail between the drives. Mind you, there is a learning curve with respect to this. I expect that things will start picking up pretty quickly, although the heat is picking up too. Next Saturday, the expected high may reach 100 (but it's a dry heat!).

Here are photos taken by Hans (thank you Hans): .......for more photos click here

We have been busy this week Cliff and Perry went and haul back to the Park, 10 Goldwater Pine trees that were given to us by the Baseline Tree Farm.

So if you feel the need to dig come help plant them asap!

Thanks guys for all the help!
