<br />
She will also be signing copies of her book, "Tales From Terri: A Disney Sculptor's Life," following her presentation.<br />

<br />
Saturday, June 15, 2013 - 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm<br />
Meeting Room at the Trinity Episcopal Church<br />
2400 N Canal Street<br />
Orange, CA 92865<br />
<br />
Dear Chapter at the Park Member,<br />
<br />
Included with [the mailing that was mailed to all members], you will find a copy of our revised Chapter By-Laws that your Board approved at their February 9, 2013 meeting. Over the past year Bob Allmon, Vice President of Membership and myself have worked on the revision and updating of these by-laws. We are now submitting them to you for your approval.<br />
<br />
Please review the by-laws. I believe they are fairly self explanatory. Wording in red and crossed out are in the current by-laws and are being eliminated and either being dropped entirely or replaced with the wording in black bold print. Most of the changes were done to make the running of the Chapter a little easier and to eliminate some language that was either repeated in another section of the by-laws, to match changes we have already made within the Chapter regarding specific meeting dates and membership, or in some cases to correct items that contradicted themselves in two different sections.<br />
<br />
At the June 15th meeting we will be voting on the revised by laws, which if approved would become effective for the Chapter at the Park immediately. If you are unable to attend the June 15th meeting an absentee ballot will be available for you to use.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss prior to the June meeting, please feel free to contact me at dcritchey749@sbcglobal.net<br />
<br />
With best regards,<br />
<br />
Dennis Ritchey<br />
President<br />

A Private Tour of the Castle Peak & Thunder Railroad!<br />

The Studio Chapter of the Disneyana Fan Club will be following in the footsteps of the Friends of the Mouse and pay a visit to the Orange County location of the Castle Peak And Thunder Railroad (CPTRR). This railroad is a backyard garden railroad built over a span of years by architect David Sheegog, a big Disney fan. You can check it out on David's website at www.cptrr.webs.com It is AMAZING!<br />
<br />
David Sheegog grew up in Southern California in the 1960’s surrounded by orange groves. If the wind was blowing in the right direction and he listened for it, he could clearly hear the sound of a steam whistle and the clanging of a bell signaling the coming and going of trains. The passengers on these trains were enjoying a Grand Circle Tour of Walt Disney’s original park, Disneyland.<br />
<br />
Many years later, David built his backyard garden railroad themed after the place that he (and all of us) have come to love so much.<br />
<br />

The Chapter at the Park of the Disneyana Fan Club is proud to present, "A Grand Tour of California Architectural History at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa."<br />
<br />
The Chapter at the Park April meeting will be a bit different. Rather than meeting at our regular meeting location we will be taking a guided tour of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa!<br />
<br />
On Saturday April 20th, the hotel will open its doors to Chapter at the Park members for a special tour given by a VIP Disney Guide. The walking tour will last approximately 75 minutes and will touch on the history of the Craftsman movement while showcasing the hotel's beautiful architectural details.<br />
<br />
The tour will begin promptly at 1 p.m., so we advise that you plan for extra time to park and walk to the location. Parking is free for up to three hours in Downtown Disney self parking lots off of Disneyland Drive or if you plan to stay at the resort longer you will want to park in the Mickey and Friends parking structure or other long term lots available to day guests or annual passholders with parking privileges.<br />
<br />
You will need to proceed through the Downtown Disney Shopping District and enter the hotel via the side entryway between the Sephora and Studio 356 storefronts. Once inside the hotel, proceed to the grand piano in the main lobby to meet your guide. Someone from the Chapter Board will be there also to assist with check in.<br />
<br />
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa<br />
1600 S. Disneyland Drive<br />
Anaheim, CA 92802<br />
<br />
The tour will be strictly limited to 30 people, and positions will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Since there is limited space we must restrict reservations to members of the Chapter only and no guests will be allowed at this time. If we fill this tour in April, I will look into arranging another tour for those interested in the near future. Thank you for your understanding.<br />
<br />
Please contact Dennis Ritchey at dcritchey749@sbcglobal.net or (714) 738-1949 to secure your place on the tour by Friday, April 12, 2013. Please include name(s), email address and phone number. We hope to see you there!<br />
