(raindate: Sunday, July 2nd)
Where:
The Gores Pavilion in Irwin Park
848 Weed Street, New Canaan
CALLING ALL TIGERS - ALL alumni, new graduates/new-to-the-area, current undergrads, and New Admits!
Kick off the summer with a Princeton gathering! We are trying something new for the Annual Summer Potluck Picnic and having it at the Gores Pavilion in Irwin Park, New Canaan.
Join local alumni and make new tiger connections. Come hear about the special Princeton connection to these public buildings (Jack Irwin '38 and Landis Gores '39) and see a first-look viewing of Princeton drawings by Mark Markiewicz '72.
It's a potluck so please bring something to share, but don't let that deter you either. We will have some light refreshments. Apologies for this short notice announcement and as such, please let us know if you are interested even if your plans are tentative so that we can plan.
The park is open to the public. Come picnic, learn Princeton trivia, share your PAAFC ideas, and then take a walk along the trails of this 36 acre park.

Three CT alumni organizations share Alumni
Council Award!
"Engineering Patient Safety"
The three organizations (PAAFC, PAAEC and PACC) have been working together
for the past few years. Our mutual support was noticed outside of
Connecticut. At the 2011 Reunions in May, the three Connecticut alumni
organizations were awarded the Committee on Regional Associations Award for
Innovation. The Alumni Council cited the three associations “for
institutionalizing the practice of ongoing collaboration with neighboring
regional associations to engage all Princeton alumni living in the state of
Connecticut.”
