New TAMR news: Free trail membership!
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 3:02 PM
Howdy!

As some of you know, I'm the current Northeast Rep of the 41 year old Teen Association of Model Railroaders.This is a group that was established for young railfans and model railroaders ( and Train Simers! ). Just today, we officialized Trial Memberships, a first for the TAMR. I trial membership is a free 3 - month membership that includes:

() 3 issues of our monthly publication, The Hotbox

() 1 issue of your appropriate region's quarterly newsletter

() Option to participate in the group with all priveleges of a standard member for the duration of your membership.

When you recieve your second Hotbox, you will get a notification with the option to join the TAMR as a regular member. What is a regular member? You get all the same things as a trial member except 11 issues of the Hotbox, a copy of the yearly Member Directory, and four issues of your region's newsletter.

When I joined the TAMR, it wasn't very long before I felt very conected to the railfanning comunity, and even more I felt understood. I was expected to act like a teen, not like a mature adult. I never get looked down upon as teen.

Another bonus is the fact that we hold a yearly photo contest, first place prize being $50. 1st through 5th placers get their photo published in Model Railroad News magazine. I know that there are many excellent photographers here.

The cost for full membership is a small 15 dollars per year. That's about half as much as TrainOrders.com!

To see more info about the TAMR, go to www.tamr.org. If you or anyone you might know, is interested in trial membership(no matter what age!), please email me at lehighvalleyrr@optonline.net --

Thank your for your consideration and Happy Railroading!

Regards,
Chris Barany
