On a rather windy Saturday afternoon, TSC representatives set up
an outreach table outside the Independence Visitor Center in
Philadelphia, PA. The event was organized by the
Nikola Tesla Inventors Club
on the occasion of Tesla's birthday and presented an
opportunity to inform the public about the significance of Tesla's
only remaining laboratory in Shoreham, NY.
In the evening, TSC President Jane Alcorn and Secretary Chris
Wesselborg spoke at the Inventors Club convention, which was hosted
at the home of the Ethics Society. Before an audience of about 50
people they gave a brief history of Tesla's Wardenclyffe laboratory
and reported on the current status of the property. Judging by the
audience reaction, the poster boards gave an impressive view of the
site. And the newly created slideshow with pictures recently taken
on the property and inside the former laboratory building helped
create an historical perspective of the site as well as provide a
context with present and future opportunities.
