RCNJ

RCNJ President Sandeep Nandy said that the RCNJ Picnic scheduled for Saturday, June 24, 2006 has been cancelled. There is a significant chance of inclement weather tomorrow during the time that the picnic is scheduled to take place, so the leadership committee decided to cancel the event and notify everyone who was planning to attend.

Update: As a result of the cancellation of the picnic, the election scheduled for June 24 has been postponed and will take place at our next club meeting. That meeting will be a dinner meeting on Tuesday, June 27 at Mastoris' Diner-Restaurant, 144 US Highway 130 (at the Junction of Highways 130 and 206), Bordentown. [ Directions ] The meeting will start at 7:00pm.

James Aiello was born on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at
a hospital in Bucks County, PA. I guess this makes
him a member of the RPI Class of 2028(?).

Kathleen and I just wanted to let everyone in the RCNJ know that our son James Aiello was born on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 at 7:33pm at a hospital near our house in Bucks County, PA. Kathleen had a c-section. She and Jimmy came home on May 27, and we're all settling into a routine.

It's a lot of work to have a newborn baby, but it's also been a lot of fun. If I had a nickel for everytime a friend had told me "your life's about to change" before Jimmy was born, I think his college fund would be fully funded by now. I don't think anyone can convey the intricacies of caring for your first child, no matter how much experience they have.

Thanks to all of you who emailed or called to express your best wishes. We hope to be able to bring Jimmy to an RCNJ event sometime soon, so you can see him in person.
