Lincoln Family Association seeks feedback and ideas
The Lincoln Family Association is celebrating 20 years as a community group for Lincoln families by providing social activities, fun and support for parents and their children. They’re interested in hearing from the entire community, both current members and non-members, to learn about their interests, generate new ideas, and welcome new volunteers. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey to tell us what you think of the LFA’s current kid-centered and adult activities, and your thoughts about new services and community outreach.
