On the first cold night of the year in Atlanta, the LITS Holiday Party warmed its guests with camaraderie, drink, and dance. Held annually, the event returned to the fifth floor of the Goizueta Foundation Center and did not disappoint.

Over 300 LITS employees were in attendance and everyone seemed to have a great time. ”

The food was wonderful,” said Patti Pate. “It was great to be together in a warm and inviting atmosphere where we could play, have fun and catch up.”

Guests this year were treated to heavy hors d’oeuvres from Soirée Catering and Events, beer and wine selections, and the general good cheer that always occurs when the division gets together. The casino games, music, and prize raffles were provided by Entertainment Productions.

The highlight of the evening was a speech from Rich Mendola, who encouraged everyone to enjoy the holiday, quit thinking about work, and reenergize for 2017. He also asked us all to thank our families who support us throughout the year.

Special thanks to Kim Comstock, who chaired this year’s party committee. All of the members actively took a variety of roles. Those members were:  Carla Ashe, Lauren Fowler, Becky Herring, Susan Hobson, Denise Holliday, Rachelle Jones, Wade Moricle, Lee Pasackow, Bev Turner, and Jenn Young.
