What to wear?
Solids are always best. The headshot will be in color and in black and white therefore we always encourage wearing something other than black. Medium color tones work well.

We will provide food (with vegetarian option) and non-alcoholic beverages (cash bar available). Join us for lots of fun – Corn Hole Courts, Dartboards, Pool Tables, Shuffle Puck, Bocce Ball Court, and Ping Pong!
