And that is a WRAP, folks!

The 2025 ASNJ Conference has come to a close. Thank you to the ASNJ Conference Board for putting together an amazing conference, with amazing presenters, including students. Thank you to the Lambertville Station Inn for hosting the conference and providing discounted rooms for attendees. Thank you, EVERYONE, who attended and was a fabulous audience to our amazing presenters.

Congratulations to the new board members of the ASNJ and to those receiving Merit Awards!

See you again next time!


Dear Members and Friends,

What a fantastic weekend!!  I am so grateful to everyone who came out to Lambertville to take part in the conference.  We had a tremendous turn out, equal to our first conference last year.  

Please send photos via message to our social media accounts, asnjsocials@gmail.com, or directly to Rebecca at rebecca.ashdot@gmail.com.  

We braved the snow for a great tour at Washington's Crossing.   Thank you to Steve Stantucci for his expert insight on the history of the crossing.

I'd like to once again thank the conference committee for their tireless work on putting together another successful event.  I hope everyone enjoyed it.

As of Sunday, my tenure as president has come to and end and I couldn't be happier to have a great person and archaeologist taking over the position.  Congratulations to Jim Lee, our new ASNJ President.  I look forward to all that is to come during his presidency! 

Please note that the asofnj@gmail.com email will now transition to Jim and there may be a delay in responses as we transition the email.

All the best and I look forward to seeing you all at the next meeting.

Sincerely,

George
