Child Protection Center – Holidays in Crestwood Luncheon

Amy Embry and Carrie McLiney served as the co-chairmen for the Holidays in Crestwood Luncheon, a benefit for the Child Protection Center. The December 1st event was held at Aixois. The cozy and festive day featured a fabulous lunch, shopping, the annual gingerbread house contest, and much fun. Ten percent of sales benefited the mission of CPC, providing a multidisciplinary response to the prevention, identification, and treatment of child abuse and violence.
