MAVIN Celebrates Loving Day!

06/12/09- MAVIN hosted a gathering of about 60 guests in honor of the 1967 Supreme Court Decision that overturned laws against interracial marriage (read more about Loving Day). Thank you to the generous owner of Cafe Amore, our beautiful venue, and everyone who attended!

As usual, this event wouldn't have been possible without the help of our volunteers, especially Jen Jackson-Crum!
