      The BAP WebSite is:  http://www.beverlyarchivesproject.org

      Some of the freebees are e-mail accounts and blogging space.  

      There are lots of  possibilities, but we have to know what we want.  

4.   Calendar -  Kobi has been trying to sell ads to various businesses in Beverly. 

      There have been no sales yet, a few "maybe's", and some "no's".

5.   Goals  -  At  Barbara  Broudo's  suggestion, each of us were asked to identify  5 year

      goals.  All of the ideas expressed were put in  categories,  and goals within each  

      category  were prioritized..

      The categories were:

                1.   Education

                2.   Structure of BAP organization

                3.   Outreach  -  in Beverly and Regionally     

                4.   Financial  -  Grants for BAP needs

                                            Grants with other organizations

6.   The "Presentation" is ready to be taken to organizations.

      Its focus is:   a.   to get these organizations interested in archiving,  and

                             b.   to have them turn to BAP for "how-to" help.
