“As a family of 5, we were so grateful to share the experience at the Cherry Crest Farm Event because Eastern made it affordable. We played and laughed and enjoyed fellowship for hours thanks to the planning and consideration of Eastern's Alumni staff. Thank you so much! We hope to see more events in the future.”
