Monarch Center of Saco

On a beautiful afternoon, on June 20^th, Carl and Pat Churchill hosted 10 guests and 3 staff from the Monarch Center of Saco. Maine. Most of the guests were experiencing their first visit to the Garden

Railway and were delighted with the venue and of course the
trains. 

 Eight MGRS members were present
and participated not only in operating the Railway but also assisting the
guests getting around.  Special
recognition is given to Walter Fossett for coming early, assisting Carl in
setting up the trains to be operated, and operating the trains during the entire
event. 

Carl and Mike Burns discussed “world
affairs” while checking out the train operation.  Pat spruced

up the “garden” prior to the visit supervised by Bagel and Tina in the club cart.

Carl, Mike, and Mac McLaughlin provided golf
cart tours of the trails on the property. 

“Chef” Dick Cosgrove, assisted by Pat Moshimar, Activity Director of the
Center, took to the grill  

and cooked up a peck of hotdogs and hamburgers for
lunch.

After that delicious meal, the group expressed their delight of the visit and looked forward to a return visit.
