THANK YOU! THE LIA’S 2026 CALENDAR WAS A SELLOUT

Thank you for once again bringing the LIA’s annual fundraising calendar into your home!

You made the 2026 “Lordship by the Sea’ edition a sellout (leading us to consider ordering more for the 2027 calendar). And all proceeds are going toward the Lordship Improvement Association’s numerous projects including care and maintenance of the Lordship Bluffs and Russian Beach, eight community gardens, plus educational and environmental projects.

Major thanks also go to the 2026 calendar’s fantastic photographers and artists, advertisers, local sales hosts, and members of the LIA’s calendar committee.

SO MUCH LORDSHIP TALENT  …

Each calendar month features stunning photos and art related to the Lordship shore. Thank you to these talented contributors (alphabetically, according to last name): Carol DeCapua, Denise Demong, Karen Essig, Pete Fearon, Lisa Ferrara, John Florian, Jennifer Hradek, Charlie Lautier, Cappie (Katherine) Perras, Edward Regnier, Luciana D. Spurkeland and Sandy Tripodi.

PS: Great appreciation also goes to Emily Marangos, who has expertly designed all six of the LIA’s calendars.
