Ways to Volunteer
The WISE Division is always looking for volunteers.
Meets/Clinics
We are always looking for people to give clinics or presentations. A clinic needs to last between 45 and 60 minutes. The clinic can be on modeling aspects of model railroading to a slide presentation on an aspect of model railroading or to actual full size locomotives, to a powerpoint presentation. Contact Al Lederman, Clinic Director at 414-354-9579 or by email.
Layout Tours
Layout tours take place after the meet, usually after 4:00 pm. The announcement of the Layout tours and maps are given out after the meet due to security reasons. Contact Tim Scott, Layout Tour Director at 262-786-3327 or by email.
