SIMMs and Ad/PR Club had our potluck Christmas party tonight. It was always full of fun and laughter playing our favorite game - some call it “fishbowl.” What’s your favorite food or goodie at a Holiday Potluck? Thanks Jacob Rosdail for joining us! It is always good to take time out during this busy end of the semester for a little Holiday Cheer!
