Community Conversation
The Lawrence Township Community Foundation sponsors Community Conversations that provide in-depth opportunities for members of the community, town officials, and representatives from local businesses and non-profits to discuss topics and issues that are important to residents of Lawrence Township.
Community Conversation
Recognizing the importance of connecting with the residents of Lawrence to help identify their needs, the Lawrence Township Community Foundation hosts an annual Community Conversation which brings together residents from all the neighborhoods in Lawrence for a township-wide meeting. Over the years, some great programs have been created as a result of these conversations, including arts festivals, Sustainable Lawrence, and the `Welcome to Lawrence’ signs around town.
