PA3 Event Grants
(Receive Up to $300 for Your Event!)

Do you have an idea for an event that may be interesting to other Princeton alumni and haven’t the funds or ability to reach out to other local alumni?   Here’s your chance to get it started…with a grant for up to $300!  All ideas are welcome.  Keep reading for details...

The Princeton Area Alumni Association (PA3) requests grant applications for PA3 events.   We are especially interested in events that 1) are a different activity than previously tried, 2) interest a different segment of our constituents, and 3) are located outside of the Princeton area.   Our region encompasses New Brunswick to Mansfield, and Flemington to Freehold.  The demographics of our members span the gamut of ages, ethnicities, professions, interests, etc.   As such, the PA3 Executive Committee is always looking for new ideas and outreach. 

Here are the details:  Please submit in writing (email is fine) a brief description of your idea and your estimate of costs.  Although your event may target a group or area, you must agree to invite all alumni that live within our region to attend (including graduate students and parents of current students). You may limit the total number of attendees, if you like.  We will certainly help with the event if you need it:  advertising, supporting planning and logistics, collecting RSVPs and/or ticket payments (if desired), decorating with PA3 banners or other paraphernalia, and reimbursing expenses up to $300. 

Please note:  The grant monies cannot be used for commercial interests or to be donated to a charity or cause.  It can be used to buy supplies or tickets for a charity event at which PA3 members participate. 

First Friday Lunch at the Nassau Club - October 5th, 2012

For those of you who think that mudslinging is a 21st Century manifestation of American Presidential Politics, here's a look back 100 years at one of Princeton's own.

PA3 members are invited to a private Curatorial Tour of the latest exhibit at Firestone Library’s Milberg Gallery, “The Election for Woodrow Wilson's America.”

University Archivist Dan Linke will lead a tour of the exhibition, which draws on the holdings of both the University Archives and the Public Policy Papers to document the life of Wilson from his early years through his first term as President.

Date:  Thursday October 11, 2012, 5:30 to 7:00
Wine and Cheese will be served
Cost:  Free

Space is limited; Please R.S.V.P. to vsevolod@alumni.princeton.edu
