GSTC GALA

10. The afterparty in New Brunswick. Always family friendly, okay not really, but always a great time.

9. Ashwin will be there, and he may even attend shirtless.

8. EVERYONE WHO GOES GETS AN AWARD. Simply because everyone should be celebrated and recognized.

7. The bar at the Elks. Sure, the bartenders are in their 60s, but the drinks are great!

6. Ken Goglas is getting inducted into the GSTC Hall of Fame. Grab the popcorn for his acceptance speech!

5. See everyone in their best outfits. This is the one time of the year where we won't see each other half naked and sweating.

4. Meet new friends. What better time to meet some new teammates than the Gala.

3. Hear our special guest speaker! S/he is so special that it's a secret!

2. Seriously, what else are you doing anyway? Bring your significant other and come on out.
