The Cordrey Charities Holiday Party Fundraiser was held Dec. 5 at the Cordrey Center in Millsboro. The glass greenhouse was transformed into a festive wonderland. Poinsettias, train gardens and holiday decor created the festive atmosphere. Guests enjoyed creative food, an opportunity to bid on auction items and a live auction backed up by a DJ spinning holiday tunes.
