In 2006, we were restructured as a non-profit  organization. Since it’s restructing, we have attempted to meet  the goals of our mission statement in new and interesting ways.    We have had model train shows in five new locations as well as  brought mini shows to senior assisted living centers. We have  also assisted local boy scout groups earn their merit badge in  railroading. Since 2007, we have had a Christmas themed show  in Arroyo Grande as well.     If you would like to join us for any part of our endeavors, please  send an email to: membership@slomra.org Monthly Meetings These meetings occur on the third Monday of the month at 7pm in the Oceano Depot in Oceano, Ca. Meetings cover  planning and coordinating of special events and projects.  Meetings also include educational clinics and a chance for members to share their model railroad knowledge.
