[NJARC] meeting location

[Harry Klancer]

Hello, all

Just to support Alex's point, InfoAge has been sold as a science and 
history learning center. Even though
there are a lot of physical details still to be handled - cleaning up 
the buildings and making the site
attractive (including our museum - I think we're way ahead of anyone 
else in doing that -
it's already a nice museum) - we and everyone else have to think about 
"HANDS-ON" and EDUCATIONAL
activities and programs. If we don't do that, we may find ourselves out 
on the street in a few years,
and the township could use the location for something else.

we have a golden opportunity, but we're just getting started.

Sorry for the shouting.

                                                    Harry K
