NWI Chapter Meeting Information
(Page updated 03/17.24)
The North Western Illinois Chapter holds a meeting on the fourth Saturday
of each month, except June, July and December. We meet at St. Marks Lutheran
Church at 675 North Mulford Road in Rockford, IL. Regular meetings begin
with the doors open by 6:30PM, a short business meeting starting at 7PM
and the main program to follow. There will usually be time for members in
attendance to share any railroad news, news slides, or or participate in
a mini-feature. Details on those events will be provided. For a detailed
description of the featured show at the meeting, see below.
We offer sales tables prior to Chapter meetings.
Table reservations must be made one month in advance at $5.00 per table,
payable at the meeting to our (TBA) table manager. Availability is first
reserved-first served.

Jerry Pyfer
Jerrry will share his growing series of
multi-media programs based upon his numerous boxes of Kodak Kodachrome
slides recorded since 1974. When film processers stopped developing
Kodachrome slide film, Jerry was reluctantly forced to switch to Fujichrome
slide film.
This general merchandise train of a program will feature more railroads
than “just” the Milwaukee Road and more than just northern
Illinois.
“Stuff from little yellow boxes”, “More stuff from
little yellow boxes” and “Even more stuff from yellow boxes”
were produced to become stand-alone mini-shows, less than carload of
less than 15 minutes each.
We will also share in a surprise program recently discovered by chance,
produced by a long-time NWI Chapter member who had passed away a few
years ago.
