Rochester IBM Alumni Club Christmas Party 2016
The 2016 IBM Alumni Club Christmas party was held on
Thursday, December 8th at The Eagles Club in Rochester. About 155 Alumni
members, spouses and guests enjoyed great food and conversation.
We had a visit from Santa who distributed the door prizes
with help from a Karaoke Christmas Carole “Sing-a-Long” led by Board Members.
As in prior years the Eagles club, represented by Jessica Sorensen, did a great
job in setting up the room and organizing the food and beverages.
