ATC Team Building Holiday Kick-off



This week we celebrated the annual ATC Holiday party and decided to step-it up a notch, with a wine tasting for our staff and perfect buffet display. We were also wishing a fond farewell to our long time pastry chef and friend, Jandira, who is moving back to Brazil. We played games and asked questions phrased in a farcical way that asked the staff about proper set-up, clean-up, and client relations. We thought it was a fun way to keep the evening casual while giving important information.





Although bittersweet because of the good-byes, it was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season!
