SDAD Holiday Brunch
Thank You for a Wonderful Holiday Gathering.
A heartfelt thanks to SDAD for hosting the annual holiday gathering last Sunday at Grand Falls Casino! The event gave SDAD members a much-appreciated opportunity to come together and socialize in person—something we don’t get to do very often.
We’d also like to extend special thanks to Global Technical Communications for generously sponsoring the holiday brunch.
SDAD members and their families thoroughly enjoyed the delicious brunch buffet and the wonderful company. It was such a pleasure catching up with everyone.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!"
