Holiday cheer was overflowing once again at the annual holiday party sponsored by Pinion and The Capital Grille. Clients in the Adult Day Training/Community Inclusion and Supported Living Programs enjoyed a delicious lunch and the much anticipated visit from Santa. "Special thanks to the Pinion members for shopping and purchasing all the gifts on our clients' wish lists," said Bobbi Wigand, Executive Director of Victory Living Programs. "Your generosity puts smiles on our clients' faces and during this special time of year we are just so grateful for your support."
