It wasn’t just any boring holiday party. This year, families and friends came dressed to impress with masks in hand at our first Masquerade Ball. Held again at Tornino’s Banquet Hall, nearly 400 people gathered for the highly anticipated event, enjoyed a lavish dinner and danced the evening away.

Many employees rushed at the last minute to buy arm-spans of holiday raffle tickets just for the chance to win the grand prize, a 40-inch flat screen TV donated by Patton Air Conditioning. Thelma Harrison of Finance was the lucky grand prize winner. Other raffle items included $25 Valero gas cards, gift certificates to Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, movie tickets, restaurant gift certificates, and various gift baskets.

After dinner, DJ Joey of Easton Network provided the tunes for employees to dance the night away.

A special thanks to everyone who made the Masquerade Ball a success.

Happy Holidays EOC!
