Because of your generosity LCC now has a stunning new entryway and plaza.
While on a recent visit to LCC, Toby and Sue Cardone saw the need for a new
entrance and kindly offered to contribute the money to have it built. It is a
beautiful and welcoming entrance for visitors and students alike. A plaque placed
at the new entrance will read "Enter and Embrace Catholic Education". Please
stop by and take a look.
Toby is a 1963 graduate of LCC and was co-captain along with Jim Lynch of the
'63 football team. He and Sue met while they were both teaching in Lima, Sue at
Shawnee and Toby at LCC (1969-1971). Toby and Sue reside in Toledo, OH.
Thank you again for your generosity.
