Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear ...
NOW HIRING
Ever think about driving a small train for kids? (More like a decorated lawn mower & about as easy to drive..) Open to Gal or Guy, this is located at the center of Crocker Park, Westlake. ‘Bout the only thing to learn is fueling & starting. Easy access by I-80, I-90 or I-480. It’s possible the job could last into the Christmas Holiday season. No maintenance required. No heavy lifting either. Need a little extra $$$ for summer vacation or Christmas gifts? If interested, email…

STARK ENTERPRISES (Crocker Park) is looking to hire a driver for their miniature train ride around the center of the mall.
More Change To Our Website - The EVENTS-CALENDAR
NOGRS ECOM Staff
Hello fellow-members. Our website has always tried to provide news, information and events concerning our train club and other train related topics of interest in a timely and easy format.
There’s always been some differences in signing up for NOGRS events. Some of our members prefer the paper sign-up sheets at the meetings. Some members use the Electronic Signup Form on the website. Either way, maintaining an up-to-date list by paper is difficult and reviewing the electronic form results aren’t exactly easy for those who need to see ‘em.
To accommodate both signup methods we believe we’ve found a resolution. It really involves no change for our members.
What HAS changed is that shortly, you will see an events/member participation listing at the very top of the EVENTS-CALENDAR. This listing will show all events, who & how many are participating and what “side-dishes” (general comments) they’re bringing. (No more guessing - that should be something of an improvement.)
If you have any comments, please email me at ecom@nogrs.org .

NOGRS Website Compromised
If you don’t already know, let me inform you that our NOGRS website has been compromised by what seems to be an adolescent hacker. Without getting into analyzing style and context, the messages suggest the hacker has penetrated the member’s roster’s security. Initially, I changed permissions on our member’s names. I recently restored them and the hacker is back. There’s really only 1 absolutely secure way to protect names, phone #s and addresses… not to publish them. So far only a few members have reported receiving bogus requests asking for $$ using a rather silly excuse.
You’ll notice if you now try to access the members’ roster, it will display a TV test pattern. FIY, the member’s roster will no longer be available on-line. Instead, I will send our members a file of the roster which you may print as hard-copy. If you misplace it, notify me and I will send you a replacement.
I’m sorry it has come to this inconvenience. Please know I will continue to be vigilant. If you receive an email you believe to be bogus, if you can, make a copy or screen capture. Email it to me. DO NOT reply to any questions or directives in the document. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
