NJPC Summer News!

We enjoyed meeting many members of the Class of 2029 and their families at our Welcome Aboard Picnic, Last Supper, and I-Day. We have two events planned for July, listed below. Please be on the lookout for Class of 2029 and NAPS and Foundation Program families, and help us to spread the word about our events.

Summer Picnic



The summer picnic is hosted by Gina and David Zaccaria on Sunday, July 13 from 1-5pm at their home in Fairfield, NJ. Open to all registered and prospective Club members and their families. This is a pot luck event so bring your favorite dish to share with your NJPC shipmates. The Zaccarias are '23 parents, former Officers, Directors and long time NJPC supporters.
