HOUSE TOUR CHECK: Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites (HBMS) is the benefactor of Bethlehem Historic District Association’s (BHDA) popular holiday house tour. Alan Lowcher, Mark Nebbia, and Holly Sachdev from the BHDA presented a check for $30,000 to Barry Pell, Charlene Donchez Mowers and LoriAnn Wukitsch from HBMS Feb. 1, at the Gemeinhaus.

The sold-out holiday house tour Dec. 11 welcomed 1,200 visitors to the Historic District to step inside 10 unique Historic District homes, as well as the Single Sisters and Gemeinhaus (the oldest building in Bethlehem), that were festively decorated for the holidays.

“The Moravian Church Settlement is a central part of our community identity that we want to share with the world,” said Board President Alan Lowcher. “The Bethlehem Historic District Association is honored to help HBMS protect and preserve this historic resource. History worth remembering is history worth preserving.”

COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINE: Community Action Lehigh Valley staff, committee members, and community partners, announced the launch of the Color Outside the Lines initiative. Color Outside the Lines is a 5- to 7-year strategic plan that seeks to address racial inequities and disparities in nine areas of focus: housing, education, criminal justice, economic opportunity and employment, and quality of life (which encompasses health, mental health, arts and culture, and recreation). The plan’s communities of focus are Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and all other underserved communities.

Members of the initiative are looking for more community engagement through people joining committees, reviewing the plan, and providing feedback. From March to May, the committees will hold public information sessions for community members to provide feedback to the plan.

For more information or to get involved, please contact cotl@communityactionlv.org.
