MEDC Annual Holiday Party |

The MEDC annual Holiday Party was held at Gray's Mill in downtown Montgomery. The restaurant has several floors in which to entertain. We were on the 2nd floor and later ended the evening listening to music in the lower level at Danny Boy's. Over 40 people attended our event and it was great to have the opportunity to say Thank You.
