Hello to all our wonderful volunteers! I just wanted to drop a quick note to you all thanking you for all the hard work that you have put in at the roundhouse complex. Wednesday we start a long a waited for and very hard earned historic moment in our organization as we begin 6 day a week operations. We have all worked so hard and for so long to make this leap from rescue to reclamation to restoration and now we can stand tall and proudly show off our work as we move into the full time operation of a professional museum and major tourist attraction for Siouxland.
We are regularly receiving e-mails, phone calls and being stopped on the street being asked what is planned and what do we have going on. The word IS getting out and people are taking notice and are very surprised at what we have to offer. I personally heard the phrase; “best kept secret in Sioux City” used 3 times last weekend in my travels around town. The best part is…the secret is out of the bag! We have a lot more to do and a lot more to learn but with what we have accomplished so far, the sky’s the limit.
Thank you all! Thank your spouses, thank your kids and thank your friends and relatives. There is so much more going on behind the scenes by a supporting cast of hundreds that don’t care to be recognized yet are more than happy to provide assistance when needed without even batting an eye. I’m so blessed and lucky to know you all and am proud to work side by side with you all.
We are leaping full bore into this new and exciting chapter in OUR railroad museum project. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and from all of the staff and board of directors of the Siouxland Historical Railroad Association. Congratulations on this major milestone and may this just be the beginning of a fabulous future.
Congratulations and thank you so very much!
