Last weeks report from Ray Chase -
Present were: Al K., Harry K., Ray C., Dave Snellman and Steve R. Redistributed display items returned from Science Fair at Clifton. Worked on Communications Display room. Organized excess stuff to storage room from museum. Wall science kids were back and did some work on the Hand Battery and started work on the Duck-In Kalaidascope. Reconstructed Vortex Cannon to make it more reliable.

This weeks report from Ray Chase -
Present were: Al K., Harry K., Dave Snellman, Dave Sica and Phil V. The Mad Science Lab was torn down in the Firehouse and smaller items returned to the museum or storage. Larger pieces will be transported this week with Mike G.s flat bed trailer. We should be totally cleared out this week. Picked up lumber for the Exploratorium Kaleidoscope project and stared work on that with one of the science kids. They now indicate a schedule conflict on Wednesdays so not sure how we proceed from here.

A report from Joe G -
This week, I have been working on telecom museum more. I have begun to refinish one of the PBX's in my possession. I helped in the retrieval of 5 display cases purchased for InfoAge on Friday.
Thank you Ray, Ray and Joe. All reports are welcome.
*Remember - ask first before you start any construction. Thank you Martin for asking is we need a permit to run Cat-5 communications cable. I do not think we do, but that is were I have gotten us in trouble before. I will or Lou will check with the town. I still have to develop an internal form to submit to our 'Building and Grounds committee' prior to any work actions. They will review the form and submit the information to the town.
*Hotel boiler is having issues. Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning. Appears fuel gun needs adjustment. We will check with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working
* We are getting close on picking an IEEE milestone plaque unveiling event in November of December.
---Thank you all. See you at tonight's meeting
*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.**
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

InfoAge Meeting, Wednesday, November 3.
Hello Everyone,
No formal meeting tonight. We all need a break and time to catch after the incredible success of the Haunted Hike and NJ Science Festival. All are welcome to work on projects or to help clean up after the Haunted Hike.
**Highlighted Future Events** Remember to check and to send events to calendar@InfoAge.org to have them posted on the planning calendar.
* Nov. 6th NJARC Swap meet
**Date to be set - IEEE Milestone in technology bronze plaque presentation for the 50th anniversary of TIROS. This is Camp Evans second milestone - Project Diana was the first.
**Dates to be set - The Holiday Trains and the VMC aka VMX.
**Next Newsletter articles due last day of November**
No Report from Ray Chase - resting.
The Haunted Hike was a great success. Everyone has raved and they had great comments. We have raised enough money to re-roof another H-building section. Thank you to the many volunteers who made this a great event. Thank you to to Blossom, OMARC. MARCH, NJHDA, MTMNJ, NJNG, MAST, Rob and the the Shore Players, Laura and the Wall thespians, the Wall ROTC, the CACI employees who helped out and many individuals. Also, the Wall police and to the Wall DPW for patching the many potholes. This was a amazing triumph lead by Nels, Judy with the support of many of our volunteers. If you recall the town refused to issue a permit to hold the event inside any of the buildings. Given the recent fire in one of the abandoned buildings, this was understandable reaction. The challenge was how to you reinvent the event in six weeks. A whole lot of old fashioned - WWII style 'We Can Do IT' made a victory. Over three thousand persons enjoyed our event, we have moved our mission to save the radar laboratory a step further, and we can be proud of how well everything went.
*Thanks to Neil N. and Dan L. the grant application to put a second roof on 9034 to stop the growing number of leaks was put in the mail on time. Nice work on short notice.
***Festering and at times flaming issue - which is getting worse. We now have a stop work order on one of our projects and the requests to inspect 9032 and 9059 have not been acted upon for over a month. Clearly we have issues with the town building department. We need to file for permits when ever we do work on our buildings. Twice I have had to force folks to get permits for electrical work. At times we do not realize we need permits for the work we are doing. We will develop an internal form to submit to our 'Building and Grounds committee' prior to any work actions. They will review the form and submit the information to the town.
*Larrison Fuel and Oil completed cleaning our hotel boiler so we will to be ready for this winter. We need to get them back as the boiler is not running just right. We will check with Central Boiler to get the zone valves the Army disabled working
* Thank you to Steve M. for getting a S-280 radar shelter delivered from Tobyhanna Army depot.
* We are getting close on picking an IEEE milestone plaque unveiling event in November of December.
---Thank you all. See you at next week's meeting
