LACA & Community
Although
the Lebanon Art and Crafts Association is an art related organization,
LACA has a long tradition of being actively involved in the
community in ways that extend beyond the world of art.
Each year LACA members pool their talent, time, and money
Alden Burt Award for Area High School Students
As financially able, LACA annually presents awards to area high school students who plan to continue his/her education in one of the fields of art.
In Lebanon, this award is called the Alden Burt Award. Alden Burt was not only a founding member of the Association, but a long-time and much beloved art teacher in the Lebanon School District.
On other towns, this award is known as the Lebanon Art and Crafts Association Award.

Other Community Involvement
Other financial gifts to area non-profit organizations include: the Downer 4H Camp, David's House, and the Lebanon Library Art program.
Another typical LACA project will find members making decorative felt bags filled with soap and lotions, playing cards, toothbrushes, notepads, candy, and other small items to be distributed to the residents of a county nursing home or to patients at the Veterans Administration Hospital on Christmas day.
