For Princeton Community Housing (PCH), you could call an upcoming fund-raiser “One for the Birds.”
The non-profit organization that has played a major role in Princeton as an affordable housing advocate, provider, and manager, is gearing up for a 40th anniversary fund-raiser at the end of this month, and while the idea is to look back and celebrate the organization’s accomplishments, organizers are more focused on the future, in trying to make Princeton more affordable to a wider demographic.
Governor Jon S. Corzine visited the Eden Institute Foundation’s Clayton Center in West Windsor last week to sign into law a bipartisan package of seven new bills relating to autism spectrum disorders. The laws boost state support for programs aimed at helping those with autism and Asperger’s syndrome (the developmental disorder featuring autistic-like behaviors).
Youngsters at the Crossroads Nursery School on Olden Lane may not be aware that the school reached a milestone this year with the 60th anniversary of its founding, but the new set of playground equipment is sure to make an impact.
