The ninth annual Gala for Hope and Healing benefitting the Children’s Center for Hope and Healing was a scene straight from the Roaring ’20s era. Women with feathers in their hair and fringe on the end of their dresses and men snazzed up in suits and ties came out to show their support for the center.
