Princeton-Blairstown Center serves young people, primarily from historically marginalized communities, by nurturing their social-emotional skills through experiential, environmental, and adventure-based programming. https://princetonblairstown.org.
In 1908, a group of Princeton University undergraduates and alumni founded the Princeton Summer Camp. They were determined to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged inner-city children by offering healthy and character-building camping experiences. In 1930, the Blairstown Campus, which eventually grew to 268 acres, was purchased. In 1973, professional staff began providing experiential education to urban youth. Princeton undergraduates continue to help staff the Center during the summer months.
Volunteer spots are limited, and pre-registration will be required. Link to registration is http://tinyurl.com/woodcutters2022. Lunch and dinner provided. Approximately 1 ½ hours from Princeton, Exit 12 off I-80 west. Carpooling planned. Looking for PA3 families [8-10 volunteers including children 10 and up] to join us; we’ll be there again.
South Africa is one of the world's top 10 wine-producing countries. High quality South African wines are often sold at very reasonable prices, so they can be much more affordable than wines from other areas of the world. Wine came to South Africa with Dutch traders in the 1600s, although the wines
didn't enter the international markets until the Mid 1990’s when the Apartheid system ended and the International trade sanction were lifted. Today, about 70 percent of the grapes grown in South Africa go to wine production. Most of South Africa's wine regions are located in the Southwestern part of the
country, known as Western Cape.
As always, our sommelier Sebastian Koncurat with lead the tasting and will enlighten us about wine production in South Africa.
We will be tasting two reds and two whites, which may be ordered from Public Wines. The cost for the four wines is $82.
For Zoom instructions, RSVP with affiliation by October 4 to Mo Chen ’80 at mochen1746@outlook.com.

Brett Lunger '67 is one of the few Americans to have competed at the highest levels of international motorsports. He drove in Formula One from 1975 to 1978. In 1975 he was teammate to world champion-to-be James Hunt. In 1976, he was one of the drivers who stopped their race to drag Niki Lauda from his burning Ferrari during the German Grand Prix. This promises to be a fascinating look back at racing in the 70s, a period when the risks were far higher than today (12 F1 drivers were killed racing during the decade).
Registration is via the link above. Brett asks that you provide a brief summary of any motorsports or "hot car" experience you have. You may send these to president@princetonaaa.org.
