joint holiday mixer

Each year, members of Guam’s Architecture and Engineering professional organizations get together to plan and host the Joint Holiday Mixer. It’s a night of camaraderie, laughter and some healthy competition between members of the American Institute of Architects, Marianas Chapter, the American Water Works Association, the Guam Society of Professional Engineers and the Society of American Military Engineers, Guam Post. In keeping with tradition, the entrance fee is a canned good donation and all proceeds and goods generated through the events raffle are donated to the Ministry to the Homeless to help with their efforts to feed those in need. We thank the planning committee for putting the event together and for all the local businesses and companies who donate to make for a great event,

Several members of AIA Marianas answered the call to judge and witnessed great creations from Guam’s next generation.
