Her latest album, “40 Years in the Desert,” showcases her best work, with songs that range from haunting and reflective to upbeat and joyful. Lisa’s musical journey began early in life, influenced by her parents’ love of violin and California music.

ABOUT THE FOREST COUNTY EMS AUTHORITY
The Forest County EMS Authority is a newly formed ambulance service organization that will help to ensure basic life support ambulance service to the Forest County communities of Marienville and Tionesta, as well as northern Clarion County.

ABOUT FCCLA
FCCLA is a national, nonprofit, student-led organization that helps students develop leadership and workplace skills to prepare for both college and careers through peer-to-peer education, community engagement, and the application of skills learned in the Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) classroom. The Forest County Schools’ local chapters of this organization participate in school- and community-focused projects that help students learn to balance career and family responsibilities along with developing leadership, teamwork, creativity, and time management skills. For over 20 years, Forest County Schools’ East and West chapters have earned the honor of representing Pennsylvania at their National Leadership Conference. This honor is expensive, so the chapters are always looking for ways to defray the cost to our families.
