NADRA Georgia Chapter Christmas Party a success! NADRA In total, close to 65 NADRA members, wives and family were in attendance at the Soho Atlanta Restaurant in Vinings for the Georgia Chapter's Christmas Party. Among the guests were Michael Beaudry, NADRA's Executive Vice President. Mr. Beaudry passionately introduced several very special guests of the night, including our very own Terry and Diann Dempsey - founders of DeckExpo and PDB Magazine, along with NADRA's very first President, Mr. John Mortimer. As if the guests couldn't get any better, the Georgia Chapter Board of Directors arranged for Srgt. Thomas and his wife, recipients of this years Deck for a Soldier project to attend the event so that the local members could thank them just one more time! The event wouldn't have happened without the support from NADRA member, TimberTech - thank you for sponsoring a great night! The local chapter took this time to award two very special NADRA members.The first, Ginny Tibbetts for her time, passion and effort with the local chapter. The second was Keith Compton, who was thanked for the time and energy he put in to spearhead the Chapters 2010 Deck for a Soldier project. A special thanks goes out to Bobby Smith, NADRA Georgia Chapter's first president - for without his extraordinary efforts in developing one of NADRA's most successful chapters, the evening would not have been possible. Thank you, Bobby for getting us to where we are today! In the end, the entire room was filled with the spirit of Christmas, thanks for what we can all accomplish together, and roughly 4-5 brand new distributor members of NADRA! Wow! We feel very blessed to have so many great people involved with our industry association! Please look forward to a full recap and photos in the weeks ahead!
