On Jan. 5, two officers of the West Windsor Art Council, Jeff Nathanson and Heidi Kleinman, provided a briefing on the activities, goals, and structure of the WWAC. Jeff reviewed the past activities and outlined the progress towards becoming a category 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Heidi, a local architect, reviewed the current layout of the former Princeton Junction Fire Station and the plan envisioned by the WWAC for the facility. New members are welcome to join the WWAC, as they continue to conduct fundraising events in the Township. Their program was well received and it provided an opportunity for several questions to be asked by the audience on the planning and goals. To learn more on coming events, and the WWAC, visit the WW Arts Council Web Site
