The Children’s Place – Patio Party

The Children’s Place’s Patio Party was held on May 15th. Mindy and Meyer Sosland were the honorary chairmen, and Katie McCune and Carrie McLiney served as the co-chairmen. Hundreds of guests gathered at more than 35 patio parties around Our Town to watch the livestreamed event, which featured a mission-filled program and silent and live auctions. Allison Waters is the Angel board chairman. Proceeds help to provide mental health services for young children to heal from life’s deepest hurts.
