Donations to the fund to restore The Little Train at Soden’s Grove need to be made payable to “Sertoma Miniature Train/ECF,” according to Walter Henrie of the Sertoma Club.
The ECF — Emporia Community Foundation — will be the clearinghouse for donations to the train’s restoration fund. Donations are tax-deductible.
Sertoma is in the midst of a $20,000 fundraising drive to collect money to replace the train’s drive unit. Without the replacement, the train is not expected to run through the summer, Sertoma members said earlier.
