AIR, there is/was a 'Northern NJ Club' ( with traditionally the 3rd/4th largest alum base ). Is there a 'Southern NJ Club' under which this event is sponsored ?

A fellow grad just informed me that a 'President's Reception' took place about a month ago....I believe he said at Baltusrol GC....true ? Could this be possibly hurting attendance at this event ?

Yunno, I just received the HC mag that has a nice spread on Gilmore. It occurs to me that unless a grad is clued into this site, HC's site ( yawn ) or has a long-distance subscription to the Telegram/Gazette, it's conceivable that dozens of Jersey alums are just now getting alerted to the coaching change and who this fellow Gilmore is. Remember, this change - including Dan Allen's passing - hasn't exactly been front page sports news over an extended period. I doubt the Newark Star-Ledger even carried news on either event....but I could be wrong on that.

So maybe the arrival of the HC mag will spur interest last minute....hope so. Gosh, I would normally think that 60 + grads would have an interest in hearing and chatting with HC's Director of Athletics and the Head Coach of football. I recall attending a similar event in Westchester, NY with Rick Carter as the sole featured guest/speaker and like 150-160 grads of all ages attended on a weeknight.

Will look forward to a recap from you....

The formal name of the club it is the HC Club of Northern NJ and is the sponsor of this event. The venue is not in southern NJ although folks from Bergen County might say it is. I can drive 100 miles south from this event's venue and still be in NJ.
There is also a Philadelphia/South Jersey Club but most of their events are in PA. Some are held in cooperation with the NNJ Club. As far as I know, all NJ alums recieved written and email notice of this event.

The Preidential Reception is held at Baltusrol. It is a report by the President of the current status of events at the College. We center our event on athletics so it is a different emphasis.

I've picked up about at least seven acceptances today, so keep them coming.

I've been talking to several parents of football team members from NJ this afternoon. Most are in Worcester with jobs and/or working out on their own in preparation for the season. One set of parents is planning on attending as they live but a few miles from me and the event venue.
