The Marianas Office of MLSC held its annual "End of the Year" party on January 11, 2013, officially closing out 2012! The photos below (shown in no particular order) were taken during a very short moment after I had completed my part of the set-up and before the socializing really began in earnest. They show a small glimpse of the event, but we had more people, more food and more fun than captured in these photos!
