THIS WEEK --  At our regular Wednesday meeting - on Zoom, we will learn about Lehigh Valley Community Foundation's Community Leadership Activities and how the foundation allocates people, time, and financial resources to address issues in our community including nonprofit capacity building, the arts, and youth empowerment.

LAST WEEK -- We discovered a hidden gem in Bethlehem -- the first faith-based recovery high school in the nation. Principal John Petruzzelli and Advancement and Enrollment Director Joe Heinrich shared information about Kolbe Academy located on Bridle Path Road. As a member of the Kolbe Board, I see first-hand the remarkable progress the school is making and the positive impact it has in the lives of its students.
