<p>[quote user="tstage"]</p><p>MRRing is a great hobby! What's to be embarrassed about!?!<br></p><p> Tom</p><p>[/quote] </p><p>... Tom - just nothing, it is the world´s greatest hobby. I am sometimes amused about all these comments on MRRing not being a hobby for real men. Here in Germany, it is a well received hobby in our society and, despite all negative impacts of the financial crisis, it is still a big market, attracting millions of people. </p><p>My round robin group of MRR buddies and I have a charity drive each year, operating our modular layout in a gym or a community hall. Each year, we attract some 5,000+ visitors to our event, collecting more than $ 20,000 for charity. The news coverage we get helps to grow acceptance - could that be a way in the US as well to grow social awareness?<br></p>
