"The hit every year at the Holiday Open House is the 'chocolate room'," shared Child Advocacy Center Director Sharon De Boer. "Guests walk past the appetizers, entrees, and dessert room, and head straight to the chocolate room."

The Child Advocacy Center is hosting the 15th annual Holiday Open House on Friday, December 5, 2014 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at 1040 Samsonite Blvd., Murfreesboro.
