I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We are excited about our holiday party coming next week! I've gotten a great response from offices who will be donating themed gift baskets to be auctioned off. Please note we need baskets at our office by
Thursday, December 5th
so that we can put them on our online silent auction platform. As a fun twist, attendees at the Holiday party will vote for the most creative basket, and the winner will receive a $250 gift certificate for lunch of their choice. Please let me know if you want to participate as there is still time.
