A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our annual geranium fundraiser! Thanks to you, the Nittany Valley Symphony delivered over 700 geraniums throughout our community. We are grateful for your support and for helping us keep music flourishing in Happy Valley while bringing a little extra beauty, kindness, and joy to neighbors who could use a boost.

Special thanks to Pam Aikey and her committee for organizing this effort, and the many NVS board members who assisted with delivery.

Thank you to Lisa A. Schroeder and Anne Layng, members of our Board of Directors, for these photos.
