Meet and Greet (PASSED)

When: PASSED (Monday, September 16, 2013 from 7:00 – 9:00pm)
Where: Panera Bread in downtown Princeton at 136 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ

Shana tova u’metukah! We had a great time tonight at our Meet & Greet, with 20+ people in attendance, including tons of new members! A list of some of the items we discussed can be found below. If you have anything to add or couldn’t make it tonight but are interested in being more involved in JGAP, please send us an email at jgap@princeton.edu. We’d love to hear from you!

  • Mailing List: Monthly newsletter (or calendar on our blog site) with a list of all events (including those of interest organized by other Jewish groups or the Princeton CJL), and email reminders for JGAP events.
  • Shabbat Dinners: Potluck Shabbat dinners would be great, even during weeks when the CJL has meals. A separate room or table just for JGAP at the CJL for Friday night dinners would be fun.
  • Meetings: The JGAP Steering Committee will be meeting on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:45pm. If you’d like to attend, send us an email ahead of time!

Event Ideas:

  • Active: hiking, bowling (Hamilton or East Brunswick), scavenger hunt; organize transportation or carpooling ahead of time.
  • Shows: McCarter Theatre discounted tickets, block of tickets to AMC Theatres, movie screenings for modern Israeli or other films (Footnote was mentioned)
  • Learning: Jewish ethics learning series, or a TedX forum for JGAP with members talking about what they do or something they find interesting.
  • Tours: Princeton Art Museum Saturday morning private tour, Princeton historical walking tour, New Jersey winery tours/tastings
  • Volunteer Work: tutoring with HomeFront at Lawrenceville Public Library, volunteering at a local Food Bank
  • Kid-friendly events?
  • Ivy Inn trivia team (Tuesdays) or karaoke (Wednesdays/Thursdays)

If you have other event ideas, or are very interested in any of the above ideas and would like to help out or participate, let us know! We’re excited for these fun events and looking forward to seeing you all. As always, send any questions or comments to jgap@princeton.edu.
