Our members work on projects that impact real lives right here at home — summer camps, student scholarships, essay contests, and more. 🤝 We meet three Tuesdays a month at noon, but meeting attendance isn't required. What matters is your heart for service.

Want to see what we're all about? Join us on Tuesday, March 24th at noon in the Harvest Cafe at CCTI for our next meeting, featuring a speaker from the Lehighton Cold Weather Station. 👋 Guests are always welcome!

Exciting visit to the LVHN Carbon Campus hosted by Dr. Ahmed Hasan, Lehigh Gastroenterology Associates, and Robyn Plesniarski. Attendees enjoyed an informative session and an opportunity to learn more about pre-screening for fatty liver disease (MASH). More good news: insurance often covers MASH pre-screening when ordered by primary care physicians for patients with diabetes or high BMI. We look forward to more health and wellness lunch-and-learn sessions this year.
