Vocational Visions, which provides programs, services and support to develop the talents of adults with disabilities, held its Enchanted Evening gala, “Under the Sea.” Awards were given to businesses, another nonprofit and volunteers who have impacted the nonprofit. The evening’s highlight was the performance by the nonprofit’s clients singing and dancing to “Surf City,” “Octopus’s Garden” and their signature song “This is Me.” Photography Tony Lattimor
