MOCSA’s Community Luncheon

May 7th was the date for Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault’s (MOCSA) Community Luncheon, which was a virtual event this year. Guests gathered at watch parties in Our Town and enjoyed remarks from Keynote Speaker Trish Mitchell, a published author, entrepreneur, and a MOCSA board member and Speakers Bureau volunteer. Polly Kramer and Nola Adebo were the co-chairmen, Katie and Jared Campbell and Janea and JP Roberts served as the community support committee co-chairmen, and Kate and John Mitchell were the honorary chairmen.
