Join us for our end of year holiday networking event. We will introduce the new 2009 AZBTA Board, conduct a raffle and auction for some great prizes as well as the drawing for the membership drive (if you join before the party your name will be entered into a drawing for a $100.00 gift card!) We will be presenting to our charity, V.O.I.C.E, our year end charity donation check. Help us help The Arizona Police Toy Drive and bring an unwrapped toy to the party!
