Last week's meeting
Wednesday, August 21, was Linda Erickson from the Da Vinci Science Center.
 
The new Da Vinci Center is open and on Wednesday we got to hear about it and see some exciting new activities available at the new location in downtown Allentown from Linda Erickson, CEO and managing director. We got a glimpse of the amazing state of the art exhibits, many if which are sponsored by area companies, and heard about the positive impact the center is trying to make in the community.
