NOTE: There will be a moderate charge for lunch, but the meeting itself is free.

We invite you to attend the annual southern Arizona ARPA mem­bership meeting in the upstairs meeting room of Maynards Market & Kitchen in the historic Tucson train depot, 400 North Toole Avenue in Tucson on Saturday, October 31, 2009.

The ARPA Board of Directors will meet at 10 AM, which you are welcome to attend. The program will start at 12:30. Gene Caywood will give Old Pueblo Trolley’s outlook on the future now that streetcars are running into downtown Tucson for the first time since 1930. ARPA President Rob Bohannan will tell us of the opening of the highly successful Phoenix light rail transit line. Jay Smyth, Chair of the Southwest Rail Corridor Coalition, will fill us in on current prospects for high speed trains in Arizona.

There will be a moderate charge for lunch, which will be served at 12 noon. After the meeting, you may visit the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum and enjoy a free ride on Old Pueblo Trolley’s streetcar through the new 4^th Avenue underpass.
