We at RTP Community Church would like to honor family caregivers. If you are a family caregiver or no someone who is, please send us a letter via email telling us about this awesome person. In return we will honor two caregivers with a full makeover and a day at the spa. This individual will be announced at the Fall Festival Oct.29th at RTP Community Church.
