Summer Potluck Picnic at the Greenwich Polo Club
Sunday, July 18, 1-5pm

Join us for the second annual potluck picnic at the Greenwich Polo Club with fellow alums, family and friends. The Greenwich Polo Club hosts public USPA high-goal polo matches and is open to the public for picnicking on the sidelines. We request that alumni contribute one food dish that will serve 6-8 people (or ~3 times your party size).   Bring the family and remember your own blankets and chairs. Attire is "Garden Party Chic".   Reunions outfits welcome.

The grounds open at 1pm for picnicking and matches begin at 3pm. Look for the PRINCETON banner.

Greenwich Polo Club
is located at Conyers Farm, North Street, Greenwich. For directions and information, visit www.GreenwichPoloClub.com

Kindly RSVP by July 11th.

Greenwich Polo Club charges an admittance fee of $40 (cash only) per vehicle for parking to be paid at the entrance.

The PAAFC will not collect a fee, however  please show your support for this and other PAAFC events by becoming 2010-11 dues-paying members.  Dues contributions of $20 ($10 for young alums '05-'09) will continue to bring more of the activities that you asked for.  For those who opt not to support membership, or live outside Fairfield County, there will be a voluntary "donation jar" and your $5 contribution  will help to defray the costs of the meeting as a group (drinks, tables, plates/utensils, napkins, ice, etc.)
PAAFC is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
Dues checks may be dropped off at the picnic or paid online HERE!

Inquiries:

PAAFC provides opportunities to the Princeton and larger community with social, educational and community service events. FY08-09 was a busy year establishing PAAFC as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and supporting events such as the joint Ivy A Cappella Concert, Ivy Career Networking, and "The Princeton Vision" Presentation by University Architect Ron McCoy *80. We kicked off FY10 with a Princeton Picnic at Greenwich Polo, a community service mini-project and networking. We had a blast hosting the Triangle Show on Tour in January and see below for additional events this past year. 

 PAAFC committee and leadership positions are open.  We are  looking for a technology chair, Young Alumni Chair/co-chairs, membership, communications/publicity, and an athletics liaison.  Let us know if you want to help with a community service project, have an idea on a speaker, or music group visit. Or, just tell us what's on your mind.

Want to enjoy a little orange and black camaraderie? No prior experience necessary - just your ideas and energy!

Regards,
Jackie Hata Alexander '84, PAAFC President
