Annual Appreciation Luncheon
Our Women's Initiative Appreciation Luncheon was truly memorable thanks to the incredible Kim Roxie, whose inspiring words reminded us of the profound impact we can have on people's lives by investing in our community. Her advocacy for woman-owned businesses served as a powerful reminder that each one of us has the ability to make a difference. Together, we can achieve incredible things.
Thank you to United Way's generous Caring Champions for sponsoring this event.
