Lab alumni Rosalyn Lemieux and a small army of dedicated volunteers had a lot to celebrate at the Learnapalooza after party held at Local 16 on Saturday night. In only its second year, Learnapalooza had increased the number of classes and students who had participated in one of the nation’s most unique community festivities.
