Council Candidate Lynn Lu Irving Has A Close Personal Link to Spruce Circle

To the Editor:

Council candidate Lynn Lu Irving has the inside story on affordable housing in Princeton because Ms. Irving’s mother, Joan Liang, lives in Senior Affordable Housing at Spruce Circle. Ms. Irving visits her mother daily, and through the years, has become a knowledgeable expert on the importance of affordable housing as well as finding solutions to the issues that affect the residents.

The residents of Spruce Circle are Ms. Irving’s and Ms. Liang’s friends. Ms. Liang was also a close personal friend of the late, beloved Evelyn Voorhees, who was a commissioner on the Housing Authority of Princeton, and worked at Spruce Circle. Ms Liang sang in Chinese at the memorial service and garden dedication for Ms. Voorhees which took place at Spruce Circle in late July 2013.

Ms. Irving greatly admires and supports the camaraderie that exists between Spruce Circle residents and the fact that they are always willing to help each other. She helps those who are infirm, in need of a meal or a friend and she often drives residents to church, medical appointments, and shopping.

Ms. Irving is a Council candidate who not only talks the talk, where the welfare of Princeton residents is concerned, but, more importantly, walks the walk. It is with admiration and pleasure that I plan to vote for Ms. Lynn Lu Irving for Princeton Council and I urge you to do the same.
