Cultural Center Moves to New Monthly Digest Format
Beginning April 1 (no fooling), we will send just one monthly event newsletter. You might print this page and stick it on your refrigerator or your office bulletin board, to remind yourself of the month's event highlights. You can always confirm all the details of each event including time, cost if any, parking and directions by going to our online Calendar. You will then receive just one email flyer for each major event, so be sure to save it if you plan to attend...Book ahead, as many shows are sold out in advance. —LCC Program Committee
