SMPS Long Island hosted their annual Holiday Party on December 2, at Verona Ristorante. In addition to enjoying cocktails and a delicious meal, attendees participated in an interesting spin on networking by playing a Bingo game that involved matching an interesting fact (such as dream vacation, favorite color, preferred activity, etc.) to one of the attendees. Raffles, benefiting the Sara Grace Foundation, were sold for various prizes. SMPS-LI's next event titled "A/E/C Industry Trends: Where is the Business in 2010?" will be held on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at the Milleridge Inn from 8-10 a.m. Visit www.smpsli.org for registration and event details.
