Report from Joe G.
This week, I did lots of work on the telecom building. With help from Steve G, I completed the repair of the broken door of the utility room. With the help of Steve G. we picked up a truckload of professional Halloween items donated by Charles Sidun of Little Silver. The donation is worth over $5,000.
Report from Dan L.:
From Dan Lieb
The Brochure Exchange rack is up. The brochures are from other organizations and sites that display our brochure for the public to pick up. This is an experiment to see if it will draw visitors to InfoAge. The sites are mostly local. I will maintain the brochures at all locations. If they need any, I'll drop them off and pick up more of their's. If there are any suggestions for a brochure you want to see added, make sure you can get plenty and that the site will display our brochures. The site should be a tourist attraction such as a park or museum.

*Reasons to tell persons why to donate (via check or PayPal) to our effort NOW: *
1) Saves an incredibly historic site
2) Honors WWII Signal Corps and Honor Front veterans
3) Helps education by inspiring kids to learn science
4) Furthers the development of a NJ Shore tourist destination.
5) Will create full and part-time employment
6) Improves property values in the North Wall and Shark River area.
7) We are the White House recognized stewards of the Camp Evans Historic District and now it is under our protection for future generations
**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.
Thank you,
Fred
