After reviewing bids from local contractors, LVCA plans to move ahead with the roof repairs this summer. Your continued support is especially appreciated as we take on this additional expense for needed maintenance and upkeep.

Lebanon Mosaic Mural Camp recently completed a two week project at Stoever's Dam Park in Lebanon PA. This project is a partnership between Lebanon Community Health Council's, Lebanon County Suicide Prevention Task Force and their Remembrance Garden Space, the City of Lebanon, and LVCA. Project coordinator, instructor, and LVCA board member, Aurelis Figueroa, led a group of young people in learning mosaic skills and then installing the mosaic at the park. If you want to see the mosaic mural use the Miller St entrance and park by the nature barn. The mosaic mural is located behind the barn, along the foundation of a greenhouse. It's a nice time to visit with all of the flowers in bloom, and bumblebees, and butterflies attracted to the native plants. This is also a great time to go down to the lake and see the blooming American Lotus.
