Tribute to Linny Fowler Concert July 18, 2014,celebrating ourHispanic Community

• Marlene “Linny” Fowler, who died in 2013, was one of the greatest benefactors the Lehigh Valley has ever seen. She was on the board of countless local non-profit organizations, including the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission. She gave from her heart enormous amounts of time and money to support the arts and to help children and families in need of education or other assistance. The members of the commission agree that the City of Bethlehem would not be nearly what it is today without Linny and her husband Beall’s generosity. Linny had a lifelong passion for the local Latino community, which is why salsa music and dancing were chosen as the theme for this concert.
