Exciting Ideas We Are Working On For Junior Members
If you have an idea that you want to share please email the Jr. Member director Patrick Cudzilo! We are always looking for new ideas for the convention as well as the publications and newsletters!
If you are a Junior Member and have an active YouTube page that is about trains, feel free to share. We would like to create a section on the website here where you can watch what fellow members are doing with their layouts! Also, as more events come up watch for updates on the picture gallery.
Keep your eyes peeled for announcements regarding the release of these new features that are especially created exclusively for our Junior Members. Better yet, become a member of the Lionel Kids’ Club by LCCA and join the fun!
