GBCC HOLIDAY MIXER

GBCC's final event of the year, our "Off the Clock" Holiday Mixer was a fabulous way to bid adieu to 2023 with over 130 guests, fantastic skyline views from the penthouse meeting rooms at the AC Hotel, gourmet cuisine and fantastic raffle prizes.

MCPD SANTA RIDE & FIALOVA POP-UP

GBCC Members and Staff had a wonderful time attending the Montgomery County Police Department's Santa Ride, benefiting the Children's Inn at NIH.

We then had a marvelous experience at Fialova, located inside the Bethesdan Hotel, attending their Grinch-themed pop-up, which runs until December 31.

Thanks to both groups for inviting GBCC to join in the holiday cheer!
