LPO Volunteers held a lovely musical event in November 2024

2 fun LPO Volunteer activities in November 2025 were a Bookfair Holiday popup sale and organizing an LPO Academy student event.

June 2024’s Soirée to close out the volunteer year.

A wonderful time was had by all in a festive setting

Book Fair is a very impressive undertaking, receiving, sorting , pricing and boxing books which happens on Tuesday and Friday, 10-2. Last week, Meg McPherson-Kraemer, the wife of the new LPO Music Director, Matthew Kraemer met Linda Ferguson, Janet Blohowiak (chairman), Lorraine Gerhart, Ellen Goldring and Evelyn Pugh-all dedicated volunteers. She gave it a “wow”.

Barbara Sands reports that the bag sale was the most successful to date with all the clothes gone  within the first twenty minutes. People were standing line at an hour before opening. With bag sales and sales inside it was a $3000 day!!!!!! 

Members and friends enjoyed music by the LPO horns (Mollie Pate, Jon Cannon, Max Paulus, Kevin Winter) while sipping variety of specially selected beers! Kevin, a home brewer, commented on the types of beer as well as the music.

Barbara Sands wraps up the year with a final report and hands the gavel to Amy Ferguson.
