Quentin Walsh’s presentation at the West Windsor Republican Club on Thursday, March 8, will be titled “An Outside-In Look at the School Budget.” The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Mercer Oaks country club at 725 Village Road West. There will be a cash bar, complimentary refreshments, and the event is free and open to the public and not restricted to members of the Republican Club. Call 609-799-1301 for information.
Walsh will speak for approximately 30 minutes, followed by a question period. Gene O’Brien of the West Windsor Republican Club categorized the event as a form of public service, saying the club has held similar events in each of the past three years. “Larry Shanok spoke about school budget financing and Bob Bruschi, the former West Windsor business administrator, spoke about municipal budgets, giving members a general overview of finances,” he said.
O’Brien noted that while WW-P Board of Education President Hemant Marathe is a member of the West Windsor Republican Club, Walsh’s presentation will not be allowed to digress into a debate-style forum. O’Brien will moderate the program.
