Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the ASNJ was forced to cancel its March and May meetings in an effort to ensure social distancing and ensure the safety of its members.
To keep our members engaged, the Society has moved presentations to an online platform on Zoom.
The Society aims to provide new content on a bi-weekly or monthly basis through its ASNJ Online Speaker Series. Presentations will occur on Sundays at 5:00 pm Eastern Time.
The first presentation is Sunday (April 26th) at 5:00 pm (Eastern), featuring:
Presenter: Mark Nonestied, Division Head-Historic Sites and History Services at the Middlesex County Office of Arts and History
Title: Uncovering Middlesex County History: Discovering Victims of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic at Washington Monumental Cemetery.
This is a 25 minute presentation followed by a short question and answer period.
To attend the meeting, please send an email to ASNJ.Presentations@gmail.com. You will receive an autoreply with the Zoom Meeting ID # and Password #. You must enter both to join the meeting.
Attendance is limited to the fist 100 people. If you are unable to make the meeting, please do not worry. The presentation will be uploaded to the ASNJ's YouTube Channel and on our website in the days to come. All attendees will be muted and questions can be posed to the presenter through the chat feature.
Access to Zoom is easy, you can download it to your desktop or laptop computer by visiting http://www.zoom.us or by visiting the App Store on your Mobile device and creating a free account.
The ASNJ aims to continue this Online Speaker Series biweekly or monthly and will post about new meetings through social media, website, and email communications.
