Anyone proud
enough to dub this the ‘Summer of Love’
must be a survivor of Woodstock, right? Or at least have an appreciation for 60s music.
At Lena’s Place
Coffeehouse, you can get all the love, memories and music you need to make 2015
memorable…at least to your ears and
hearts.
Located at 2676 Clairmont Road, Lena’s Place has been around for 31 years. During that time, the ‘secret social gathering spot’ has always offered great music and
the very best of Atlanta song writing.
Every second Saturday the coffee house ‘pays it forward’. Attendees are asked for a $5 donation. Refreshments are available on an Honor
System. All funds taken go to a
different charity each month.
Past recipients have been the Atlanta
Community Food Bank, Funds for Migrant Workers in South Georgia, and Plymouth
Harbor, a program in Tucker designed for seniors.
“Where in
Atlanta,” asked Resident Stan Citron “…can you get two hours of entertainment,
and do some good work for your community at the same time? It’s terrific."
Lena’s
Place showcases incredible musicians in an intimate, listening room
environment. Performers are not only nationally
and locally famous, they were trend setters who shaped the music industry. Many music genres are represented as well.
Since 1984,
Lena’s Place Coffeehouse is a monthly opportunity to experience an eclectic mix
of acoustic artists in a coffeehouse atmosphere. Lena’s is staffed by
volunteers who love (and often play) in the lineup.
This month donations go to fund New
American Pathways (formerly RRISA). The organization helps new American
citizens, with a mission to promote safety, stability and service for
individual refugees and their families in Georgia.
On July 11, donations
will benefit the Clifton Men’s Shelter. Lena’s Place invites
anyone who appreciates great music to attend.
