Our 2024 fundraising campaign has had some lovely donations, but the prizes are not all given away, so please consider supporting your local culture by supporting the NLFAS. It's our mission to ensure the preservation, promotion, and growth of our culture! Any amount is appreciated, but there are special incentives you can still get before the Christmas for those who donate now.
