Roy and I were so happy to have been able to spend a wonderful evening together with our staff and Laga Consultants last night. Although not everyone was able to make it, those in attendance made our time very enjoyable!

We started the evening with introductions and a round of icebreaker questions (thanks to Leila Fung, Laga’s Administrative Assistant):

..it was fun to learn a little bit about everyone! Dinner was superb as always at McCormick & Schmick’s Fresh Seafood Restaurant, who is always very supportive of Laga. This was the third time they have hosted our Laga Holiday Dinner.

We announced our 2008 award winners…
