Jingle Mingle 2017 was one to Remember!!!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night for our Jingle Mingle holiday party! 

The gorgeous great room at The Residences at Annapolis Junction was packed with more than 250 merry Chamber members who dined on mouth watering small bites from Clyde's, signature pomegranate champagne cocktails and networked for hours.

Attendees also got a chance to sit down in the luxury movie room and watch clips of classic holiday movies and munch on fresh popcorn. There was also an amazing roaming magician, a picture friendly ice sculpture, complimentary massages from the team at Tocar Spa and as if all that wasn't enough, there were great raffle prizes from Lord & Taylor and Edible Arrangements of Elkridge.

The event couldn't have turned out better and that would never have been possible without the members of our Jingle Mingle Committee!
