Enjoying the Holiday Spirit Without Spirits II

Rosecrance transforms campus into "Haunted Woods"

Rosecrance staff, numerous brave alumni and family members volunteered their time and talents to create the 8th annual "Haunted Woods" October 27 & 28 at Rosecrance Griffin Williamson campus. Many tranformed into zombies while others chose to stay indoors handing out goodies. Everyone made it a memorable night for our clients!
