We request that alumni contribute one food dish that will serve 6-8 people (or ~3 times your party size).  Please e-mail your attendance and food contribution (to help plan and avoid duplications), and phone number (in case of cancellation) to Audrey Liu '99 at

The polo club has a separate parking rate of $40/car, no matter how many are in your car.  If you hope to carpool, let us know. Kindly RSVP so we have a general count and can help coordinate the potluck offerings. picnic@princetonct.org )

Three CT alumni organizations share Alumni Council Award!

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.”
