Meetings are held from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at the Community Campus of the JCC in Edison (the building adjoins the YMCA). Please arrive fifteen minutes early. Health, Medical and Educational Professionals are invited to attend those meetings featuring speakers or video presentations.

There is a nominal charge for non-members to attend speaker meetings.

ASPEN is a NJ Department of Education Professional Development Provider. 2.0 Professional Development Credit Hours are earned by educators for each meeting they attend.

Inclement Weather Procedure. As winter approaches we realize we cannot possibly call all of you to cancel a meeting should the need arise. If the weather is very bad in the afternoon preceding a meeting, please call 732-321-0880 after 4:00pm to determine whether the meeting will be held. If schools are closed in most districts, chances are we will not meet.
