LVC Hike-a-Thon!

In May, LVCers met on trails across the country for the 2nd annual  outdoors event and fundraiser, with arboretums a popular theme. Barry in Boston gets the prize for doubling participation in the region with the least amount of alumni and supporters!  A BIG THANK YOU to hike leaders for stepping up to lead, and to everyone that came out, rain or shine, to value LVC community and demonstrate the importance of financial support for ongoing social justice fellowships.
