It's that time of year to look for all the smiling faces on the
children as they await a visit from Santa. What better way to start
the holiday season than to see the Holiday Train display at InfoAge
Science/History Center (Camp Evans).

A few items of progress to note:
The snow storm hit us on the weekend of two of our fund raisers.
The pickup truck with our new snowplow broke an axial. (It is not
Steve's fault)
Thanks to John T., Steve G. Pete R., Scott W., and Nels we have the snow
cleared.
To get the job done Nels rigged a plow to our forklift, Steve G. got
more propane and Nels went to it.
John T. was Mr. show thrower. If any of you have operated a thrower you
know the work.

Thanks to Bernie R., Bernie, Nike G. and I got to meet with State
Senator Sean Kean.
Senator Kean will sponsor a bill to name Camp Evans the State of New
Jersey's WWII Living Memorial.
Given 2010 is the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII this is very
fitting to honor those who served at Camp Evans.
On or about January 13th a representative of the NPS National Landmarks
group will visit Camp Evans to further determine if Camp Evans meets
their criteria.

**No Passion = No Progress. We have passion and we are progressing -
even if it is tough sometimes.**
If we do not tell kids what great things others have done to improve our
nation how can we expect them to know what they are capable of.
