Due to construction in the parking lot of the New Horizons Christian Church, the September meeting of the Akron Railroad Club has been moved back a week.
The Club will now meet on Friday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. at the church.
The change was made after the church canceled all meetings set to be held there during the week of Sept. 19 due to the parking lot resurfacing and other work.
The program will still be presented by Don Woods. The paper edition of the ARRC Bulletin will be mailed the week of Sept. 18 but the eBulletin will not be distributed until the week of Sept. 26.
Members are also reminded of the picnic, weather permitting, that the ARRC will have at the Columbia Run Picnic area in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on Sunday, Sept. 25, weather permitting.
The club will furnish hamburgers, hot dogs and buns along with condiments. Members are encouraged to bring snacks, small side dishes and desert items.
The picnic hours will be noon to 3 p.m. The picnic site is adjacent to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad along Riverview Road south of Peninsula.
Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 No. 765 will be making its final runs on the CVSR on Sept. 25.
We also need volunteers to staff the ARRC table at the Berea train show on Saturday, Oct. 1. Contact Marty Surdyk at surdkym@aol.com for further information or to volunteer.

If you want to see “NKP 767” on it’s first Southbound Sunday trip, plan on being at the picnic area by 11:30. The first Sunday Akron trip on the 18th passed Bath Rd. shortly before Noon.
