THANK YOU to all who joined us for out open house/ribbon cutting on Friday, August 21, 2026. Pictured left-to-right is board member Lorin Cope, Garland Gates, President & CEO Scott Meyer-Kukan, Mayor Beverly White of The City of Lewisburg, board member Beth Gedert, and Greater Greenbrier Chamber of Commerce board member Liz Wickline as we kicked off the ribbon cutting ceremony.
We are grateful to have received a few donations for the upcoming open house and ribbon cutting ceremony and are still looking for a few more donors to help with some basic janitorial supplies. We have created a "wish list" on Amazon with some essentials that will help prep the building for your arrival. This "wish list" includes janitorial items such as trash and recycling bins, paper towel, toilet paper, and bathroom cleaning products and fixtures. These are our first priority at the moment.
You might be asking yourself the following question: Why does an organization that has been around since 1863 need these essential items? That's a great question. The ERLA has been fortunate to occupy space on the campus of Lancaster Theological Seminary and Franklin and Marshall College since it first began in 1863. Both of these great organizations have provided janitorial services for us (in addition to many other services) and we have never needed to purchase cleaning materials or supplies in the past. This is our first time outfitting our own facility and with that comes the need to purchase materials of our own.
Thank you to our friends at the Mountain Messenger Newspaper for helping to get the word out for our upcoming open house and ribbon cutting that will be held on August 21, 2026. We look forward to sharing our new facility with you and to showcase all of the work that has been accomplished thus far.
