This  year’s holiday gala took place at a new venue – Moulin at Vin de Set.  A big bouquet of thanks go  to Steve Emer, our Master of Ceremonies for the evening, along with kudos to Stefanie Barnes, Brandi Ball and Kim Hughes for pulling together all the images that made us laugh as we reminisced about the events of 2011. New hires were introduced including Gregory Kuddahee, Tom Young, and Sara Holt.  Our summer intern Avik Guha has agreed to come on board with us until 2014 after he completes a 3 month internship in Tokyo. We also announced promotions for the year, including our BIM guru Kevin Symons who was named an Associate, and Rachel Raterman, who recently passed her ARE (Archtiectural Registration Exams) and was named a senior associate giving Rachel two reasons to celebrate.
