Rape Crisis Intervention Service of Carroll County's "A Culinary Experience."
On Monday, October 8, 2012, Rape Crisis Intervention Service of Carroll County (RCIS) will host its 13th annual "A Culinary Experience" fundraiser. The event will be held at Martin’s Westminster. Local restaurants, caterers, and bakeries will showcase their talents by serving everything from soup to desserts.
