HSMAI's "Shaken Not Stirred" 2006 Holiday Gala was a very successful and fun event for our 140 members and their guests. This event definitely set the mood for the holidays.

The event began with an outdoor cocktail reception, compete with 007 decor, a firepit to keep us warm and photo opportunities. After the reception, the evening continued with a delicious dinner, installation of our 2007 Board of Directors and the presentation of the chapter "Awards of Excellence". The evening was emceed by Past President Dave Rosenbaum and outgoing President Bob Holman, so there was never a dull moment!
