Janet Chapman Memorial Service
A memorial service will be held at the LCAA on March 23 for longtime LCAA member and volunteer who passed just recently.
Janet was a beloved member of the LCAA for many years. Most members and friends of the LCAA knew her. She was frequently found in the LCAA office helping with greeting visitors, helping members pay for memberships, helping visitors with purchases, and helping during drop offs for shows. She also brought baked goodies, especially her memorable brownies, to the receptions. We will miss her very much.
In the photo above she is holding a Groundhog Day cookie she brought to the reception for the 2019 Winter Membership Show.
