It is my pleasure to welcome you to NJPA, an organization that has persevered in our community bringing people together in the name of our culture and heritage. Over the years this organization has forged friendships and a spirit of camaraderie that is hard to come by in today’s age of speed and impetuosity. My hope and wish is for this to continue, for NJPA to be a platform for the confluence of ideas, new and old, of values, of lasting relationships and a whole lot of celebrations.
