Pizza Lunch 10-22-2025

We recently enjoyed a wonderful pizza lunch surrounded by great friends and a room full of smiling faces. It’s no secret that we love pizza!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our board member Jennifer Barnes for sponsoring this special lunch, and to our special guest, Anna Holland, who joined us on behalf of The CD Fleming JR Charitable Foundation. Anna shared meaningful insights about Mr. Fleming and his desire  to help the community.

We are truly grateful to both Jennifer and Anna for their generosity, their time, and for joining us for lunch.
