A look back

Greg and Judy Plattner announced they will be stepping back from their work with the Arts Council. You are likely to see them at ’24 concerts, and Greg is lining up the bands; but they don’t promise to be there every week. We thank them for the decades they have devoted to enrich the neighborhood.

Christmas fun: Once again the Arts Council worked with neighborhood kids as the young and young at heart decorated ornaments in conjunction with the LSNA’s tree lighting festivities.

Share the love

When Diana Haydon proposed this project, the other members of the Arts Council joked about snow. Little did we know that we would be putting hearts on fence posts when the temperature was 0.

Was it worth it? We think so.
