A Campus for the Creative Spirit |

It’s November, which means unpredictable weather, turkey and mashed potatoes, and for some, even hanging Christmas decorations. It’s a wonderful time of the year when we reflect on all that we are thankful for. Here’s hoping all of you have health, friends, and family on your list. I’m thankful for pancakes with my kiddos on weekends, even if that means sticky fingerprints are left everywhere. And we are so thankful for all of you, supporters and friends of LOLA, as we work on expanding accessible programming to the Northwoods community we love so much. Check out all the new and interesting classes and groups we are offering now, including a free beading group, digital art, and even Ikebana - Japanese Flower Arrangement.
