NACE Party Raises Funds for Charity

The Greater Detroit Chapter of the National Association for Catering & Events (NACE) celebrated its annual holiday party at The Whiskey Factory in Detroit with a strolling dinner, music, gift card balloon pop and membership awards. More than 125 members enjoyed the event sponsored by AVL Creative, Chair Covers & Linens, Creative Specialties, The Display Group, Rock Out Entertainment, ShutterBooth, Viviano Flower Shop, BTW Photography and The Whiskey Factory.

Guests who made a donation (cash or new gloves/mittens) to Mittens for Detroit were entered into a raffle to win a free Detroit Distillery tour. Winner Paul Viviano of Viviano Flower Shop donated 16 pairs of mittens and gloves.

Party planners were board members Rachael Wietecha, Tifany Wunschl, Tracy Round and Susín Silawa. detroitnace.net
