Community Outreach

In the early years, FoWWSC communication to the community was facilitated by newspapers. The newspaper provide a link to the entire community. In recent years, the communication has been via a Senior Center pamphlet. In addition to this web site, FoWWSC is moving to return our presense to the local papers. An article will appear in the West Windsor Plainsboro News biweekly in a March issue.

In October 2002, a FoWWSC letter was sent to all senior households to promote the fall membership drive. As a result we experienced an increase in FoWWSC members. The 2002-2003 registration resulted in an increase of about 50% increase in members for this year. Our goal is to continue to increase this rate of growth in the coming years.

The FoWWSC board intends to shed the spotlight on FoWWSC as we move forward. We will endeavor to get our message to each of the "households", businesses and organization supporting the West Windsor community to seek their suggestions and support to further the FoWWS Mission. Our first Suggestion Box has been installed in the Senior Center to gather input on Projects and Events.

If you or your organization has suggestions to offer, please contacts us!
