[NJARC] A Special Event at InfoAge That needs Help From Some of You

[Raymond Chase]

Members:
The fundamental mission of InfoAge, in addition to maintaining a group 
of museums, is to inspire young people to pursue careers in engineering 
and science.  An opportunity do this has been presented to us on the 
30th of May.  The Bordentown NJ school district has proposed bringing 
their entire 8th grade class of 180 students to InfoAge on Wednesday the 
30th.  This will be a test for us to do what one of our goals is; yellow 
school buses filling our parking lot.  But we need your help!  This 
group will be on site from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM during which time they 
will be taken through a dozen or so "learning centers" (exact detail 
plans are being worked out now) within all InfoAge museums and 
displays.  We are asking any member who can be on site no later than 
10:00 AM on the 30th and help until 2:00 PM or so.  You need not 
consider yourself to be a trained docent, part of the task is just 
helping guide students around and being available to aid those regulars 
who have already signed up.  Please consider assisting us with this 
task, it will give us vital information on how to handle future student 
groups plus I am sure that you will come away with a feeling of 
accomplishment.
If you can be with us please let me know by end of day Tuesday so we can 
plan accordingly.
I apologize if you get this message twice as I am sending to multiple lists.
Thanks in advance for your help, Ray

P.S. Good news regarding our application for National Landmark status, 
details to follow.
