Lincoln Neighborhood Community Alliance

Lincoln Neighborhood Community Alliance (LNCA)

The LNCA is a group of dedicated community members who meet the second Saturday of each month to discuss issues facing the neighborhood and how to address them, to organize community-wide events for children and adults, and to learn about services or events offered in their neighborhood.

In the past year, the LNCA held three events aimed at children in the neighborhood: Eggs in the Park, an egg hunt for children ages 2-10; Movies in the Park, an outdoor showing of a family-friendly movie; and Pumpkins in the Park, a pumpkin carving contest with prizes. These free events are sponsored to nurture traditions that build a fun, safe, and caring neighborhood.

The LNCA welcomes support, ideas and new membership from our community.
