A message from Pia Raymond, LMA Vice President:
As Vice President of the Lefferts Manor Association, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the untimely passing of our President, Ebenezer Edwards. “Ben,” or “Eddie,” as he was known to many, was a stalwart leader in our community. I join with our board members and community in grieving his loss. Further details about a celebration of his life are forthcoming. May he rest in power.
Blessings,
Pia J. Raymond, LMA Vice President

Our community gets its name from our good neighbors.
Our western edge is Prospect Park—home of the 1912 Carousel, Lakeside Center, the Audubon Center at the Boathouse, the Prospect Park Zoo, and the Lefferts Historic House. Immediately to the north is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which will be in bloom, and farther north are the Brooklyn Museum and the central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.

We Need Your Help
It takes the coordinated efforts of many volunteers to help make this event a success. We hope you can help by being a tour guide* and/or contributing food for the refreshment area.
If you live in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and are interested in volunteering to be a tour guide, contribute refreshments, or otherwise help with the House Tour, please contact the House Tour team at plghousetour@gmail.com.
*Tour guides are assigned to a house, usually one per floor, and help supervise and guide the visitors. They work one of 2 shifts, either 12:00-2:30 or 2:30-5:00.
In exchange for 2 ½ hours of their time, tour guides receive free tour tickets. Although the tour closes to the general public at 5PM, there will be an extra hour from 5PM to 6PM for guides to see the houses.
Dues are now $25 per household, $15 for Seniors
