[NJARC] InfoAge Good News

[Ray Chase]

Things are really happening at InfoAge.  We now have full access to the 
Marconi hotel and associated buildings.  A formal transfer ceremony has 
been scheduled for April 1, 2006.  At this time we will take possession 
of 37 acres and 16 buildings including the cottages and the Diana site 
that we currently have.  This date will be a big affair and we will be 
tasked to show many dignitaries who have supported us for many years 
what we really can do.  If you have not seen the Marconi hotel recently 
you really should come by on a Sunday and check it out.  Many groups 
have put in a lot of effort and the improvement is spectacular.  The 
InfoAge board has been meeting every couple of weeks to now take up the 
challenge of funding our programs and planning how to use the 
facilities.  We now have a vintage computer group as part of our family 
of supporting organizations.  On January 7th we will celebrate the 60th 
anniversary of Project Diana, the bouncing of radar signals off the moon 
for the first time.  In March there will be an East Coast vintage 
computer festival at the site and then our transfer ceremony on April 
1st.  In-between there will be school groups and other public events.  
Exciting times for us at InfoAge after many years of frustration.
