Thank you members, old and new.
In this time of giving thanks, the Preservation Alliance of Lafayette expresses its sincerest gratitude for your continued support of our organization and its mission. While PAL has always strived to serve the Lafayette community through grassroots preservation efforts, we are reaffirming our commitment to you, our members, with many new initiatives and events. In the coming months, we will be unveiling a new PAL logo and a much-anticipated new website. If you are tech-savvy and would like to volunteer your time updating PAL’s web presence, please email [email protected]. But don’t worry. Even if you don’t know bits from bytes, there will be other opportunities for you to get involved in PAL’s bright future. We look forward to seeing you on December 6, 2019 for the Downtown Christmas Extravaganza Tree Decorating Contest and on January 15, 2020 for the LTHP Coalition Gathering (additional details below and to follow). Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
