Scenes from the 2007 FWA Holiday Benefit Gala - December 6, 2007
On December 6th, around 200 FWA members, Thomson employees, and guests gathered at Thomson Financial for the 2007 Holiday Benefit Gala. Approximately $20,000 was raised for the Educational Fund. Everyone enjoyed the plentiful and delicious food, pomegranate martinis, and the networking among old and new friends. There was much excitement around the display of 21 raffle prizes, totaling more than $24,000 and all donated by generous businesses.
Thanks to Thomson Financial for hosting the Holiday Benefit Gala and the wonderful Thomson staff for all of their help in preparing for and running the evening.
Thanks also to Christine Freda and Diane Wallace and their hardworking committee for getting raffle prizes, stuffing the gift bags, and working the event. Congratulations for such a successful and fun event!
