Jeff, If you could send me a flyer I can put up at the shop/hand out. I am working out whether I can go. b On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 9:59 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Hi Dean, Per Jeff's message the other day, isn't the flea market at the Brookdale College location on Monmouth Blvd rather than the Museum site as indicated on the flyer? I realize they are next to each other but I just wanted to clarify on the proper entry point.

Hi Jeff, The flyer was made before we were 100% sure that we had access to the large parking lot on Monmouth Boulevard which is owned by InfoAge. We were originally going to have the event at InfoAge itself. The address 2201 Marconi Road is InfoAge's address, but the event isn't ther, but very close to there. About 1/2 mile away. The flea market is across from Brookdale and InfoAge. It is not *in* Brookdale or in its parking lot. We do not own or have permission to use Brookdale's parking lot. The address that was given was a reference point: 800 Monmouth Boulevard. This is Brookdale's address. I can see that it is confusing people. The parking lot that the swap meet will be held has no address, but it is owned by InfoAge. We can only give a GPS address: 40.1848793,-74.0630848. Here is the Google Maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B011'05.6%22N+74%C2%B003'47.1%22W/@40.1848834,-74.0652735,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d40.1848793!4d-74.0630848 I hope that this clears things up for everyone. If not, then I will try to explain further. Jeff College location on Monmouth Blvd rather than the Museum site as indicated
on the flyer? I realize they are next to each other but I just wanted to clarify on the proper entry point. Regards, Jeff Galinat

For anyone who missed the location update that was sent out previously, here it is again. It was great of the town to give us permission to use this lot as it gives us a far easier space to accommodate social distancing amongst other things. The township administration and the Wall PD have been great to work with. The goal is to obviously grow this event from the “First time out” we are doing, figure what works and what doesn’t, and make this a large event that takes place every year (perhaps more than once a year) with a space perfect for a large number of vehicles and people, outdoors and literally across the street from Infoage! An update on our swap meet. We were able to get permission to use the large parking lot across from InfoAge/Brookdale. It is found on Monmouth Boulevard. This gives us plenty of room for our swap meet. GPS location: 40.1848793,-74.0630848. Plenty of space for vendors, plenty of parking for buyers. For reference, the Brookdale College Wall campus is 800 Monmouth Blvd, Wall NJ 07719. The large municipal parking lot is directly across the street. Tony

Geocaching and swap meet in one!

Since the college appears to behind some trees: "Monmouth Blvd, between Watson Rd. and Taft St." "Corner of Monmouth and Taft" I'm still debating going. :) -- Jameel Akari
Is the website correct and can you makenit so that one can download a current flyer from the website? I am getting confused. On Wed, Oct 28, 2020, 8:55 AM Jameel Akari via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
