The group's newsletter is
> another PR tool, in my opinion.

Excellent point! Our newletter has four purposes 1)to maintain membership numbers by keeping members informed 2)to solicit perspective donors 3)to encourage volunteerism (with thank yous and invitations) 4)solicit new members I guess you could consider a fifth to include being the eyes and ears of long-distance members.

What is the purpose of your newsletter and is it published on-time?

The Trolley Museum of New York has two newsletters. We're terribly overdue producing either one, but new issues are in the works:

Street Railway Reporter -- geared more towards members and donors. Articles are generally more in depth and try to avoid jargon and technical terms without defining them. Higher production quality, lots of pictures, more historic pieces.

Volunteer Bulletin -- geared more towards the volunteers. Brief project status. Rarely any pictures (since we copy it on the Xerox).

Bay Area Electric Railroad Association operators of the Western Railway Museum has published The Review since 1947.

The Orange Empire Railroad Museum has published
the Gazette since about 1958.
