Celebrating our Second Anniversary: Our Playlist and Photos
If you’re following us on Twitter, Facebook and/or LinkedIn, you already know that we celebrated our Second Anniversary last week with a reception at Nopa Kitchen + Bar here in DC. The Gallery Room at Nopa was filled with colleagues, clients and friends, including people we’ve known for years and others we’ve met recently. We had a terrific time and were honored, flattered and so appreciative of all of the people who joined us.
Two weeks is enough time to celebrate a second anniversary so we thought we’d close out the celebration today by sharing the playlist and photos from the event.
If you joined us last week and don’t remember hearing music, don’t worry that you missed it. There were so many people that the music was drowned out by the sounds of happy conversations, laughter and the clinking of glasses! We'll file that under future event planning considerations.

As we wrap up this year's celebration, we've included a sampling below of some of the many excellent photos our photographer John Jack Gallagher of John Jack Photography took to document this wonderful evening. If you’re following us on social media, you’ve likely already seen these pictures, but we liked them so much we wanted to share them here as well. You all look terrific!
We hope you enjoy the playlist and pictures. We certainly enjoyed spending a little bit of time with all of you. Thank you for joining us in-person (or online) to help us celebrate our first two years. Onward and upward!
