The Project Diana celebration was a big success.

I've been up in Rochester since September, and our director was not so good about updating the calendar page, although he's been working on the rest of the site quite regularly. Now I'm back and perhaps we can get some events listed up there.

Fred has spent the last few days fixing the old pages so they link properly to the new index page and work with the frames. We have almost 800 pages!

The power has been off at the Concept center for the past few weeks. Luckily, we have had a very mild winter so far. Apparently the army believes that the best way to preserve buildings is to leave them without power or water.

Saturday, October 18th is Archives day where most of the Monmouth County historical societies have tables
highlighting their history. If you like local history this is alot of fun. You get to meet dedicated people who freely give of their time to save their towns' history. You will see many interesting publications to purchase on local history not found on Amazon.com.

Infoage will have a table. If you would like to do table time, please let me know. This is at least the third year we have had a table. Each year this event gets larger and larger.

From our director:

This Sunday at 1:30PM we are having visitor
greeting training. The goal is for each member organization to send a
represenative or two to learn the ins and outs of greeting visitors at
the cottage and our message. We will create a rotation schedule and
each organization will take a Sunday and act of visitor hosts.

This Tuesday at 7PM is our August Board meeting. The Army has
renewed our lease and given us written permission for "museum
activities" on site. This removes some obsticles. Plus the Army
insists there will be a transfer of the Diana Site, cottages and
possibly the Marconi hotel and library this (yes this) October.

Tuesday the 12th Connie Zimmerman's ICON high-school age students's
visited Camp Evans. Everything was excellent. Everyone had a nice
time and the students learned a little of their Monmouth County heritage.
Plus Connie served a enjoyable lunch. A vision of things to come, many
buses and many students and families.

So start getting excited again. The summer heat will be gone in a
few weeks and we can get to work. We will focus on the Diana site and
the NBHF cottage and grounds.

Our director has returned from Europe, so I assume that things are back to normal.

We will have a compact board meeting this Tuesday, the 29th. We will start at 6:45PM and end at 7:55PM. Commitees can then meet.

Apparently the Concept Center will not be open while the Director is gone, sorry about the confusion.

I will be MIA for the next six weeks, and our director will be gone for two. So while web updates will be infrequent (what else is new?) the Concept Center will still be open as usual.
