CONGRATULATIONS NORTHERN NEW JERSEY 0N 75 YEARS!! 1950-2025!
Stories, Past and Present, from our Northern New Jersey Region Archives
August 2026
This month’s story is from the NNJR Pole Position dated July 1988.
I’m doing something different this month and showcasing a young artist from our NNJR family. His name is Robert Orofino, Jr, and he was 13 years old, a new member, when he drew the picture for the cover of the July 1988 issue! I hope Robert or his family or friends have a chance to read this column and know, years later, how much we appreciated his talent and hope that he continued sharing his artwork in some form as the years passed.
We would love to hear from Robert and/or the Orofino family.
Continue reading as I have included the cover in this column – enjoy!
| NNJR NEWS The NNJR BOT will be on break over the summer, only meeting in June and August and back to monthly meetings in September. Elections are coming up in November for the NNJR Board. Several positions are up for re-election – consider joining us. |

The 2026 NNJR Region & Awards Party was a success in spite of the weather. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold and snow to join us. We missed our friends who were unable to attend due to the weather and travel conditions.
