for an Evening of Vintage Cocktails to benefit Places for People
Lovely homes in the beautiful and historic Westmoreland Place neighborhood will serve as a dramatic setting for musical performances, cuisine and cocktails highlighting bygone eras. Stroll leisurely through turn of the century homes, tap your feet to a flapper beat and swoon to the sultry sounds of the swinging 60’s.
All proceeds will benefit Places for People (PfP), a private, non-profit agency that helps individuals with serious mental illness live independently. For more than 35 years, PfP has helped thousands of people obtain housing, find meaning in their lives and establish a sense of belonging in our community.
