Smiles, laughter, tasty food, and good company were all on display Thursday night at the MGH Institute’s annual Holiday Party in 1 CW.

Baker’s Best Caterers served up passed hors d’oeuvres and dinner consisting of flank steak, mashed potato bar, glazed brussels sprouts, salad, fresh rolls, cornbread and butter rolls, and dessert.

Offering soothing sounds throughout the night was a return performance by the Joe Brogan Jazz Trio.

The festivities had a charitable purpose as well; food was collected for the Institute’s Community Panty while more than $3500 was raised for the Student Emergency Fund through the 80 faculty and staff members who entered the sweepstakes. This year’s prizes were: Hogsmeade Lego set, a Kindle Paperwhite, a $75 Dovetail Gift Card, a robot vacuum, a Ninja Pizza Oven, a paddle board, a Yeti chair, an away suitcase, and Bose headphones.
