The Haunted Hike is going great. Everyone has great comments. We have raised just over $13,100. We have kept expenses down this year by creative reuse of previous years materials. So we are well on the way to being able to put a new roof on one of the 9011 sections. The kids love the train. The actors make the show lots of scary fun. Based on the comments of visitor's if we gave a Best Actor award - it would be DJ. We have moved the Casper house to the hotel dinning room as building 9059 is not available. Thank you to the many volunteers who are making this a great event. This weekend we will be without Judy's leadership so we will need extra help. Please come volunteer and have some fun at the same time.

The roof leaks in the H-building main hallway are gone as the remaining part of the hall was re-roofed on Monday. We also had the leak in the Hotel Piazza repaired. This turned out to be worst than expected. It is good we did this before winter.

*Thanks to Harry K. and the NJARC we are making progress on an exhibit at the NJ science festival.
*Our CBDG is moving along thanks to Lou R. and John Truhan. We are waiting on the bid specs.
*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. They recommended working with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working

*The IEEE celebrated the naming of TIROS I as a historic milestone in technology history at a dinner at the Sarnoff facility on Monday the 27th. Frank O'Brien, Dave Sica and I represented us. The IEEE commissioned a second plague our TIROS site. We will have an installation ceremony. Dru Reynolds is setting the date in November.

* Brian Boyce, who makes amazing WWII dioramas met with Mike G. on Sunday. Mike will visit Brian's home to see his work. Brian would like to display some of his dioramas at InfoAge.


--This Sunday we had a low number volunteers on site, but a nice flow of guests. On site were JoAnnn B., Frank O., Joe G., Dan and Terry L., Neil N., Jeff B. and Matt N. of MARCH, Aaron H. of NJARC and others I am sure if have missed.

---Thank you all. See you are the meeting

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.

**No Passion = No Progress. We have passion and we are progressing.**
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
