Report from Joe G.
This week, I did lots of work on the telecom building. With help from Steve G, I repaired the broken door of the utility room. I also put a platform in place to act as a stair. I did some work on the Halloween flyer, worked with Steve to try and find the water shutoff for the TIROS building.

----Thank you Joe and Ray.

*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
