We had a great time at the Holiday Social on December 5, 2005 at The Columbia Restaurant. For those who were not able to attend, you missed an evening of delicious food, savory wine, flamenco dancing, and most importantly, socializing with friends. We raffled off some Idexx products, a Martin Saint-Louie signed hockey puck, tickets to USF sporting events, and a new microscope donated by Coletta's Microscopes, an $800 value.
