LAWRENCE, Kan. (KPR) - A group called Community Village Lawrence is in this month's KPR Community Spotlight. This local, volunteer-based, non-profit is dedicated to supporting affordable in-home aging for adults. Many of the volunteers get together for coffee each month in North Lawrence. KPR's J. Schafer went to learn more. (Click button at top of page.)

The group will have another get together this weekend. Art and Beer in the Park will be held Saturday, September 21, from 4-7 pm at Centennial Park. The public is invited.

This year - 2024 - we launched a brand-new program to help spread the word about local community organizations. KPR’s Community Spotlight gives these organizations an opportunity to spread awareness using KPR’s airwaves each month. Our September spotlighted partner is Community Village Lawrence.
