Founded and funded in the 1960s by individual members, The Maitland Civic Center has thrived for decades as the epicenter of Maitland’s social, civic, and cultural life. As with all places that enjoy rare tenure, the civic center, now known as Venue on Lake Lily is continuing its journey as a vital member of the community by exploring ways to evolve and redefine its purpose, position, and promise within the community.

“Thank you to our participants, sponsors, and guests who continue to support the mission of Venue on Lake Lily. Together, we will provide a hub for decades to come to make authentic connections and elevate community spirit,” said the President of Venue on Lake Lily Renee Charlan.
