Donor Reception

In November, we showed our gratitude to some of our most special supporters by hosting a recepton at the home of Forrest and Molly Ward. Nearly 80 guests turned out for the event, where they were thanked with warm words, delicious delectables, and a variety of beverages. Old Point Trust graciously sponsored the reception.
