MEMBERSHIP IN THE ONTARIO & WESTERN RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY, INC.

    Regular Membership will bring you (2) OBSERVER Publications, one which includes the O&WRHS's Calendar and the MOUNTAINEER newsletters for a year. Sustaining Membership brings you both publications and gives you the satisfaction of helping to aid the Society's historical activities.

    Your dues can include membership in our parent organization, the NATIONAL RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY. With nearly 20,000 members, the NRHS is America's largest and best-known rail historical organization. Through rail excursions and the renowned NRHS Annual Convention you can meet many people with interests like yours. You'll also receive the bi-monthly NATIONAL RAILWAY BULLETIN which contains fascinating articles on railroad history throughout the nation, just as the OBSERVER does for the O&W. NRHS membership identifies you as a serious rail historian and not just a "train buff."

    Contributions are always welcome, and may be tax-deductible. We offer special works of art and other O&W-related items as premiums for donations to our Archives Fund - please ask for details. Reprints of some of our archival material, as well as original NYO&W paper goods and OBSERVER back issues, are offered in our Sales List. It's available for the asking.

    Please come to one of our activities and meet our officers and members. We meet at 7:30 p.m. on the first Friday of each month (except July, August and November) at the Senior Center at 65-70 West Main Street in Middletown, NY. A railroading program follows a short business meeting. Guests and prospective members are always welcome. In case of inclement weather the meeting will be postponed one week. Our annual banquet is held on a Saturday in November. But you don't have to be near Middletown to enjoy Society membership - our 750 members live in more than 35 states and several countries!

    Whatever your interest is in the O&W - whether you or your family worked for it, rode on it, lived near it, or are just fascinated by it - the Ontario & Western Railway Historical Society extends a cordial invitation for you to join us. If you have any other questions regarding membership or about the form on the next page, please contact our membership chairman Ray Pinglora. You can also contact Ray for your Username and Password.
