Shining on Our Purpose
March 22, 2024
Our First Shining on Our Purpose Formal
Village Northwest Unlimited created an evening for individuals who receive services from our organization. The evening is dedicated to them and features a formal dinner and dance.

Schedule
The stations for residents to have assistance in getting ready began early in the afternoon. Once the residents were finished getting ready, they headed home to change into their attire for the event.
Once residents were ready, they were transported by VNU staff to the Crossroads Pavilion Event Center. Once at the pavilion, a formal dinner commenced followed by a dance. The event concluded around 8:30 p.m., and residents were brought home.
