On September 16, 2021 the entire board of the LNA resigned leaving the neighborhood association in flux. It was our attempt at outreach to involve more community members to let them know that they no longer had a functioning neighborhood association. Only one new person showed up for this outreach meeting. As of to date October 22, 2021 there is no official Lents Neighborhood Association!
