S ummer is a time for long, warm days, fun activities with family and friends and even that much needed rest and relaxation. It teaches us to be fully awake, engaged, and open to everything that is happening around us. At CAI-NJ, this summer is no different as we want members to stay active and involved with fun events and excellent educational opportunities. Giving Back CAI-NJ’s F.A.S.T. hosted their Annual Olympics this past July to raise funds for Make-A-Wish New Jersey, where members competed in a fun, adult field day

Committee Sign-Ups At the Annual Meeting, I challenged our members to get more involved and reach out and make connections with someone and step out of your comfort zone within the membership.
