1st Annual Shining on Our Purpose

Village Northwest has created an evening just for individuals who receive services from our organization. This evening is dedicated to the individuals we serve everyday. Shining on Our Purpose is a formal dinner and dance that will take place on March 22, 2024.

Schedule

The stations for residents to have assistance in getting ready will begin early in the afternoon on March 22nd. Once the residents are finished getting ready, they will go home and change into their attire for the event.

Once residents are ready, they will be transported by VNU staff to the Crossroads Pavilion Event Center. Once at the Pavilion we will have a dinner and dance. The dinner and dance will conclude around 8:30 p.m. and residents will be transported back home.
