On February 25, 2006 InfoAge setup a display at the Neptune Middle School
at the Neptune Black History Celebration. This was our second year at this fun celebration.
Our booth was larger this year. We featured our 8 foot tall Dr. McAfee/ Dr. Jones panels built by Cori Carl and painted by students of Wall Central School.
The materials to made the panels were a gift of the Brookdale phi theta kappa Honor Society.
Karin Carl and Mike Ruane stand by our display.
The founder of the Neptune forensics group Ms. _____ (l) talk with Mike
Ruane, Dr. Connie Zimmerman and Karin Carl
InfoAge member and Neptune Councilman Mike Golub (l), and InfoAge
Trustee Dr. Connie Zimmerman (r)
Give ______ a recognition award for his years of dedicated service to
the community.
Later during the ceremony InfoAge presented five students with copies of
A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Paperback)
by Martin Luther King (Author),
James Melvin Washington (Editor)
The books were presented to the students in the hope that they will find INSPIRATION from Dr. King's legacy.
Possibly the student will work to improve our nation and society as Dr. King did.
Our display was visited by Lorraine Stone.
Lorraine's Dad is late Neptune resident and
Camp Evans employee Mr. Loren Stone ( above)
InfoAge archives have a great group photo from his memorbilia thanks to
Lorraine.
