The First Annual Eastern Rally for Recovery will feature a viewing of ‘The Anonymous People’, a feature documentary film about the over 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. The event will also feature a Walk of Support and Hope for Recovery, and will provide an abundance of helpful resource information. Food, music, fun, and inspiration will be in abundant supply.
