Third Place Commons is a little quieter

LFP Garden Club with new curtains
in Third Place Commons

Last week, all at the same time, Third Place Commons hosted: the Lake Forest Park Garden Club, a book club, a men’s group, an informal group of about 10 mothers with their toddlers, a business training meeting, a birthday group, several children and their caregivers at the “Kids Korral,” couples chatting and studying and individuals working on computers.

In December, Third Place Commons installed new sound reduction curtains. When closed, these new curtains really work. This means that the various groups can meet at the same time without as much distraction from competing noises.

The new deep-purple curtains match colors in the Third Place Commons logo adding some continuity and splash to the space. They were purchased with grant funds from 4Culture and donations from community members to Third Place Commons. The funds for the community portion of the curtains were raised at the annual breakfast.

This year the annual Third Place Commons Breakfast February 25, 2016 at 7am. The funds raised at the breakfast support all of the varied programs at the Commons. Tickets are available at Third Place Books and online at Third Place Commons Breakfast tickets.
