Thanks for joining us to celebrate GJ Union Depot’s 120th anniversary! It was amazing to share a day filled with history, cool classic cars, and support from our community—you made it unforgettable for our team and GJ Union Depot.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our newest window and paver sponsors. Your generous support plays a vital role in preserving and enhancing the historic GJ Union Depot.

We also thank those who helped launch our fundraising efforts for the 3rd Annual Charity Golf Tournament this August by sponsoring golf balls for the inaugural Drone Golf Ball Drop, which will take place on tournament day (no golfing required).

We sincerely thank our volunteers for their dedication and effort, which made the event such a success: Keith & Sandy Williams, Scott & Terri Kepner, Dave Amend, Janet Huff, Brenda Fhuere, Dr. Peter Lavon, and Logan Wilson.

We appreciate Peer 180 RCO-Recovery Community Organization, Wheels West Car Club and Carlson Vineyardsyards for partnering with us to create an amazing National Train Day celebration!

If you are interested in volunteering, learning more about our window/paver sponsorships, or the golf tournament. Message us, visit us at https://friendsofgjuniondepot.org or email us at [email protected]
