A Year to Remember. An Event to Never Forget

Inspired by a member of our planning committee stating wouldn’t it be nice to host a holiday party and seeing many of our fellow chapters planning to do the same, we were able to combine the generosity of Kathleen Houseman and Dexterous Talent and hospitality of Jessica (“Jess”) Jones of Synovus to be able to pull off an amazing event in a short amount of time despite every opportunity, er . . . challenge, you could throw at a situation (absences, holidays, applying new technology, technology limitations, the fact that the weather was not festive on the day of, being in a combination of balmy warm 66 and raining cats, dogs, and alligators [why not?] so nobody wore a holiday sweater lest they collapse from self-induced fever).

Yes, Kathleen Houseman donated a gorgeous St. Augustine vacation that was to be raffled off at the event. She also provided all of the food and beverage which was simply magnificent (hint: Publix catering can be POSH). And new member, Jess Jones of Synovus, who literally met us as an organization at our most recent Summit amazingly lent us her 7th floor Pent Floor (it’s like a penthouse, only better – its the only way you want to view I-285 traffic where you can smile and relax on their covered outdoor patio).

Thank you to all members and friends of PTW who suffered the weather and traffic to arrive and thrive. Everyone enjoyed the casual networking and holiday networking match up. I, of course, was Cousin Eddie (chic, glamorous, I know) and was able to connect with my very own Clark Griswold. 😊

The culmination of the event was the curious raffle which upticked in activity all during the event (thank you procrastinators – you really do know how to Get It Done!). In the end our very own Hope Page won the drawing managed real-time and onsite by Jewel Hazelton with Kathleen making the final draw.

Before ending, we ventured onto the observatory deck to pose for Carey, move furniture, pose for Carey again, smile, blink and smile again while he took as many shots as he could to make sure everyone looked as fabulous as they are, before they moved furniture again. You would think we were at a CrossFit training with all the furniture that can be moved in such a short amount of time.

A note on which to end the year: THANK YOU!
You are what makes our chapter thrive.
You are who give our chapter life.
You are the ladies who cheer for our sisters when others may simply be competing.
You embody the very good of humanity in a world where many are more interested in bad news, not good news.
Thank you for creating good news with us.
2025 is a brand-new season for PTW Atlanta. We sure hope to see you there on the top of our front page smiling.

With Love,
Dana Sills & the PTW Atlanta SuperSt*rs

May you be a light to others, and may your constellation be oh so very merry and bright.
