The East County Posse is a philanthropic organization dedicated to helping East County residents who are in need. The goal is to help those less fortunate improve their quality of life by way of donating time, skill or trade, as well as monetary donations. To help further their mission, they hosted a Mad Hatter un-Tea Party which was a whirlwind of fun, philanthropy and a little bit of madness and amazing décor and costumes. With a packed house and an outpouring of support, the evening made a real impact for East County residents. Among those in attendance were Kryssy Whillock, Heather Miinch, Christine Roys, Christine Avell, Gina Austin, Caitlin Avell, Lorelei Brown, Julie Hayden, Rachel McDonald, Jordyn Row, and Katie Wheeler.
