Hello, all:

The National Postal Museum is planning a public
program on Saturday, June 25.  Here's some of the
activities that are tentatively planned:

Noon - 4:00 p.m.
Ongoing Model Railway Demonstrations --  a modular
railroad display will be set up and modelers will
describe railroad operations to visitors.

2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
A workshop for adults in the Discovery Center
highlighting how to build a model railroad. 
Participants in this workshop are invited.

Ongoing through the day:
Create a Topical Stamp Collection highlighting 
trains on stamps or other railroad themes -- anyone
who is a railway topical collector is invited to
present their collection or describe information about
particular stamp issues related to railroading.

If anyone is interested in offering suggestions or
participating in this event, please contact Kimberly
