On December 7 CATT capped off a great 20th year with the Annual Christmas Holiday Party. 460 people were in attendance at the Eldorado Resort Casino in Reno. For the first time ever, we sold out! The evening started with great appetizers, drinks and catching up with old friends.

The program got started a little late, thanks to Caltrans, but everyone made it and was greatly appreciative that we held the program.  Aimee Schaller (below left) with Tri Counties Bank acted as our Master of Ceremonies for the evening.  She started with a moment of silence in remembrance of National Pearl Harbor Day.  She then went on to thank our Title Sponsors, BMD, Inc. and Marvin Windows and Doors.  BMD, Inc. and Marvin Windows and Doors have been our Partners in the Christmas Holiday Party for many years.  We greatly appreciate their continued support!

Olivia Osborne (below) with Kelly Stone Architects, and Christmas Party Chair, welcomed everyone. She thanked our guests for attending the party and the party committee for all their hard work in making the party a huge success.
