Hi everyone! 

I’ll start out with an apology – we had to cancel on very short notice last week, and Princeton IT was entirely down meaning we couldn’t update the website or e-mail list with this news. I’m really sorry for anyone who came out only to be disappointed! Hopefully things go more smoothly this week!
