Mimi? As in Mimi Omiecinski, owner of Princeton Tour Company. Mimi moved to Princeton in 2006 and became strangely possessed by All-Things-Princeton. She is married to Steve (better known as Steve O) and they have a son named Stosh.
Joy? Joy Chen is the owner of JOYcards. For the past 15 years, Joy has been helping Princeton residents celebrate their life events with custom designed invitations, announcements and all things creative. She also happens to be passionate about math and science education. She is married to Earl and they have two kids.
Einstein? Albert Einstein was born on March 14th, or 3.14, the numeric equivalent of Pi. He was a resident of Princeton, which Mimi and Joy proudly boast is home to more Nobel Prize Winners than any two square miles on earth. This shocking coincidence sparked a genius moment for Mimi…
…She approached the Princeton Public Library and they agreed to host the first incredible celebration. She went to JOYcards and Joy created the perfect branding for the event. Together they called in a ton of favors from the Library, shop owners, family and friends and created Pi Day Princeton. The events are meant to celebrate Pi, mathematics, science, famous Princeton geniuses and, of course, Einstein’s big day.

Joy and Mimi like to think this event attracts the best and brightest and Monica proves that theory perfectly!
