Page 3 THE INS IDE EDGE THE INS IDE Page EDGE 3 Final Train Trip Update Well, it's finally time for the train ride through the New River Gorge in West Virginia. We've all been planning this and paying for this since last winter and we're about to be rewarded. The whole group has chosen to ride in the Dome cars so we'll be enjoying both breakfast and dinner on the train while we watch the passing scenery. If only this bright sunny weather continues! I'm counting on bringing back pictures to make everyone envious. For those of you on the trip, keep checking your e-mail (I'll call those without e-mail). If there are any last minute updates, I'll let you know. Hope to see everybody in Huntington WV on Friday night, Oct. 24th but Saturday morning early at the latest.

T H E I N S I D E E D G ET H E I N S I D E Page E DPage G E4 4 Attention All NSC Members who like to have fun (do we admit any other kind??): We recently had a very successful Activities Planning Mtg. Thanks to all who attended or otherwise submitted your ideas. We generated just a ton of great ideas and even have trip leaders ready to serve for some of the events/trips. Since so many good ideas were discussed, we decided to send the membership a survey that will allow you to give your input on what interests you and to indicate if you would be willing to serve as a trip leader for any of these activities. Remember, the most popular trip can't happen if someone isn't willing to step up and organize it. I have emailed out the Trip Leader Guidelines in case anyone wants to learn just what that involves before making a decision to volunteer or not. Once we have a proposed trip, a trip leader, and a budget, the Board reviews the information in light of all other factors & Club events, and then votes to approve (or not) the activity. Please print out (those who get a USPO mailed newsletter will have a copy as an insert), fill in, and bring your completed survey to the October 7th Meeting. We value your input. I have emailed 2 versions of the survey in case some of you have trouble opening one or the other. If you continue to have problems, please let Christian know.
