This year's event is made possible because of donations from Dr. Jeffery, Senior Staff, and the SMC Associates. Please join us for an afternoon of gratitude, joy, and community building. We will once again have a contest to see who has the ugliest sweater and/or the most holiday cheer. Have some fun and build community with your colleagues in the photo booth or card-making area. We will share a delicious lunch from Casablanca's. (Vegetarian and Vegan options available). We can't wait to see you there!
