Membership Drive Underway

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Historical Society is actively seeking new members for our group. The membership brochure was reprinted in the fall and is being distributed at hobby shops, museums, and train shows throughout Western and Central New York State. We need your help to recruit new members by handing out more brochures. Please stop by the station in Shortsville when it is open and pick up some brochures. Also, don't forget to renew your membership when the notices are mailed out later this year. Thank you for your support of the membership drive.
