VRRI Client Holiday Dinner & Dance December 2008
One of our most meaningful events for 250 of our clients and their support staff, this nearly 30 year-old annual tradition is held at the Kensington Legion.
Filled with holiday cheer and a home-made turkey dinner with all of the fixings, the VRRI's client holiday dinner and dance is a meaningful holiday tradition for many who otherwise would not have a time of fellowship and festivity during the holiday season.
