Holiday Soiree 2010

Happy Holidays AULYP Family!

This years' Holiday Soiree was held at the beautiful Atlantic near Atlantic Station. The first question that may come to mind upon arrival is - how could this place have possibly gone unnoticed from my sight while making numerous trips to Atlantic Station? The excitement continued for the night. Once guests walked up to the 5th floor and entered the Clubroom, they were met by AULYP members dressed to impress, as well as great music leading the soundtrack for the event. The space was complete with plush couches, LED televisions and even a movie theatre! The venue proved to provide something for every type, as the spacious main room allowed room for guests to stand, mix and mingle. In the second room, guests sat, relaxed and talked; and finally in the movie theatre, many guests chose to sit and watch some NBA action.

I immediately set my things down to start doing some networking and met a large number of members and non-members enjoying themselves. The hors d'oeuvres were delicious! IF you missed this one, you surely did yourself a disservice. I met new people, reconnected with some old buddies and enjoyed the atmosphere chatting and laughing the night away! The entire event was not about pleasure as we collected toys for Toys for Tots to distribute during the big Toys for Tots event Saturday, December 18 hosted by Instant Tax Service in Cobb County.

The Holiday Soiree was definitely a great way to end the year, and an even better way to kick off all of the great events that are in store for 2011.
