Festivities kick off with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by an evening of dinner & dancing from 7 to 11 p.m., accompanied by the vibrant tunes of the band, Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n

\u201cStanding Out in Our Field has become the annual go-to event for those who enjoy a laid back, yet purposeful gathering,\u201d said Linda S.
