Update: Due to the uncertainty of the weather conditions expected in the southeast this Thursday and Friday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Celebration of Life for Karen Mroz planned at the College of Charleston on Friday. We are already making plans to reschedule at a later date and will keep you updated as we go forward.
Join us to celebrate the life of Karen Linehan Mroz at the College of Charleston on Friday, September 27, 2024.
