Rensselaer Mails First RCNJ Chapter Alert for the 2000-2001 School Year
Dave Aiello wrote, "RPI finally mailed out the first Chapter Alert newsletter of the year to alumni living in the State of New Jersey. Thanks to Kate Potvin of the Rensselaer Regional Programs and Dave Bressen of the RCNJ leadership committee for helping us get the message out to our members who have never visited our Web Site before."
"To all of the Rensselaer Club of New Jersey members who are visiting our Web Site for the first time, welcome. You are a member of the most active, best organized regional alumni chapter in the United States. The best way to keep up with what we are doing is to sign up as a new user of the RCNJ Web Site and join one of our mailing lists. Then, once you begin to see what we do, contact one of the leadership committee members and get involved."
Dave Aiello continued:
We welcome any and all Rensselaer alumni as well as their families and friends to our events. We would greatly appreciate help from our members in organizing the events we currently run, managing our on-going programs, and broadening the scope of our what we do. The RCNJ wants to move particularly aggressively in the following directions:
- Expansion of our events and programs to Central and Southern New Jersey, with particular emphasis on the Princeton - Mercer County area at this time.
- Expansion of our leadership team to accomodate women, young alumni, and representatives of other groups that consider themselves distinct within our organization.
- Expansion of the group of alumni who participate in our annual fundraising efforts, including the RCNJ membership drive and the New Jersey Phonathon for the Rensselaer Annual Fund.
- Expansion of the group of alumni that assist us in reaching out to the middle and high school students of New Jersey, and introducing them to RPI. These efforts include traditional college fairs, as well as support for programs like the New Jersey Science Olympiad and the New Jersey Science Convention Preconference training program.
- Expansion of the group of corporate sponsors that underwrite programs like the Rensselaer / Liberty Science Center Internship Program.
Your tax deductible contribution to the Rensselaer Club of New Jersey in the form of annual dues helps us to fund these and other worthwhile programs. If you have not already contributed at least $25 this year, please consider doing so today.
