What We Enjoyed Most

Our favorite part of the Community Meeting for this month was seeing everyone for the first time on the new year and gathering to prepare a new display for Krystle’s Brick Shop window showing off creations arranged for the Spring Asian Celebration! Members shared their new LEGO® sets received for the Holidays as presents and how they were looking forward to building the new sets as we went “Around the LUG” near the end of the Community Meeting. Everyone enjoyed sharing about their year and future creations to be built from LEGO® bricks!
