Oh, what a great time we had! After a two year hiatus, we had over 140 survivors, family members, SCC staff and other folks from our community gather to eat, dance and enjoy one another’s company! A special thank you to the members of the Consumer Advisory Council who hosted the event, King Street Bluegrass who provided wonderful entertainment, and our resident photographer, Jenifer Morris, who captured such JOY.
