In January of 2007, Z scale lost a friend and promoter, Bill Kronenberger. Bill was a consummate promoter of Z scale, actively attending shows, establishing the Z-Bend Track standards, educating Z scalers and sharing his passion. To honor Bill’s memory, we have created the ‘Kronenberger Grant For Z Promotions’. The goal of this grant is to provided funds for clubs and individuals who are actively promoting Z scale by attending shows, events and functions. We understand that many of you have made major commitments towards the promotion and growth of Z scale, and we hope the funds that the grant can provide will help offset costs and encourage further involvement in shows and events. Grant monies will be available for such costs as travel expenses, fees, and layout enhancements that further the visibility and promotion of Z scale. To apply for a grant, please contact Rob Kluz at Ztrack Magazine. An application form can be found and submitted on Ztrains.com: http://www.ztrains.com/z-scale-news/kronenberger-grant/ Ztrack Magazine and the sponsors will provide free of charge promotional media for shows and events. All requests for media should be made three to four weeks prior to the event. If you are interesting in contributing to the grant, please contact Rob for further information. Thank you for helping us honor Bill and his legacy.
