Technical News
Our December Holiday Gathering at The Truck Bar was a great way to close out the year! Members enjoyed awesome pizza, a few competitive rounds of cornhole, and plenty of raffle prizes throughout the evening.
A big thank you to CT ASPE and the Board of Directors for sponsoring the event and making it such a fun and successful night. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening memorable. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to another great year ahead!
