Spring Luncheon ~ 30 Years & Going Strong

The Rehabilitation Center for Children and Adults’ 30^th Spring Luncheon was a sold-out event at The Colony Hotel that raised funds for the preschool program. The luncheon which takes place each year, celebrated 30 Years and Going Strong. Constance Thomas, Chairwoman of this year’s Spring Luncheon along with Co-Chairwomen Meredith Hunt and Carling Pinckney, made this luncheon the most successful event by bringing friends and supporters of RCCA together to share passionate stories of their experiences with therapy services.

While RCCA supporters enjoyed an elegant lunch, Christine Pressman, who’s son Fred attends the preschool, shared her unwavering support of the program and the impact that the therapists and teachers have had on her son’s developing skills. Pressman said, “As a parent, you hold many dreams in your heart for your child. RCCA and everyone in this room help those dreams come true.”
