We're looking for help from those of the “millennial generation”!
Join us for a brainstorming meeting at the Carnegie Center, 10:00 am on Sat, November 29th.

This building has meeting room space, exhibit space and a reference room. We anticipate it being a center that will welcome Lorainites for years to come. We NEED your input! Please consider attending and bringing your friends!
