Holiday Gathering
31 Long Beach Chapter members and guests enjoyed a fun and festive Holiday Gathering on 13 December 2024. This was the second annual holiday event and, like last year, was held at the amazing La Traviata Italian Restaurant. Everyone enjoyed some great food and drink, tons of laughter, and door prizes. Three Past-Presidents (Chris Rainwater, Karen Townsend, and Jed Douglas) joined current Chapter President, Luis Ortiz, as the chapter once again celebrated this wonderful time of year. For those who missed the event, there’s always next year!
