Where's the Guide??
We have good news and bad news regarding the Program Guide.
Bad News
Due to mandatory, sooner-than-expected budget cuts, no copies of the Fall Guide 2010 will be mailed to homes. The print run of the Fall Guide 2010 will drop from 75,000 copies to 25,000 copies. They will be available at the regular distribution points while supplies last.
Good News
Money and trees will be saved! We’ve created a great new, easy-to use electronic version of all of our Guides. Scroll down to see LGNC's program offerings, and use the new e-guide to browse all Montgomery Park program offerings.
