Fall Fiesta & Farewell Highlights

What a truly magical night! The Fall Fiesta was a tremendous success, and it’s all thanks to your incredible support. It served as a beautiful tribute to our outgoing leader, Jenn McAdoo and was a wonderful opportunity for Tae Chong to get to know our friends and supporters. It was an evening full of fun, food, music, laughter, and sincere connection.
