A Plaque Recognizing the Support of
The Lane and Elizabeth C. Dwinell
Charitable Trust
To Be Unveiled at AVA on Saturday,
April 28 at 4pm
Please join us for a reception on
Saturday, April 28 at 4pm, when the unveiling of a plaque honoring the Lane and
Elizabeth C. Dwinell Charitable Trust for their recent support of AVA’s
Carter-Kelsey Building will take place. This plaque, which will “name” the historical
display area in the lobby on the first floor, is also a nod to the significant
contributions that the late Governor of New Hampshire and his wife made to the
city and the citizens of Lebanon. The
Dwinells lived in Lebanon for more than 60 years. Over the course of their
lifetime, they were deeply involved in civic and charitable endeavors in the
city as well as in other parts of New Hampshire. They created the trust bearing
their names to ensure the continuation of their philanthropic interests.
