VoWW Interview #9 - Mamta Narula
Overview
"Voices of West Windsor" is a joint project between the Historical Society and SR Mosaic to fill in the gaps in our records of our town's history. We interview contemporary inhabitants of groups not typically found in our archives so that future residents can get a perspective decades later - much like how our perspectives of old West Windsor were obtained through interviews of longtime residents in the past.
Mamta Narula is the founder of the Asian American Cultural Organization (AACO) and a West Windsor mom. This week, Voices of West Windsor speaks with her about her views on demographics, school reopenings, and AACO-West Windsor senior Center Collaboration.

Talking Points:
(On where she wants to see West Windsor in 30 years)
"WW can work on a few areas that can make it much more stronger – developing multiple platforms for the young kids to grow; More focus towards the younger residents / developing programming to engage the younger residents will help develop the community better."
(On diversity in West Windsor)
"Diversity plays a key role in developing a township. The school district has been a great pull for the people to migrate to WW. This has helped the town to grow and has also provided a reason to be proud of. The heritage festival has already been setup in Mercer county park and we are looking at ideas to hold it in downtown Princeton."
