All Assemblies are held from noon to 4:00 p.m. at the Mercer County Library Headquarters Branch, Alternate U.S. Route 1 South and Darrah Lane, Lawrenceville, NJ (directions below).
Assemblies are on the first Saturday of the month unless otherwise noted.
Most Assemblies are preceded
by
a High Council meeting from 11 a.m. to noon. All Prydonians are welcome
to attend (if you don't mind being really bored...)
Note: Event information may change. Check back here regularly or read The Renegade. Thanks!
Non-members - i.e., family and friends - are welcome at all public club events (no unattended children, please). For information, send us e-mail.
Donations of food and drink (non-alcoholic) are always welcome.
Assemblies are usually followed by dinner at a local restaurant. There is no fee to attend public club events, but members are responsible for their own meals and entertainment.
If our guest is joining us for dinner, we ask
everyone
going to dinner to chip in a little to help pay for the guest's dinner
- thanks!
