Holiday Party 2020 – Social Distancing Style

Like most companies, the V2Works team celebrated the holiday season a little differently this year. With social distancing still in full force due to COVID-19, we gathered virtually to reminisce, play games, compete in a gingerbread house decorating contest, and feast. Everyone enjoyed the meal of their choice — whether having something scrumptious delivered or making something fancy themselves — then we settled down for a night of laughter and fun. As always, the party was a huge success! We're very grateful to be able to lean on each other's talents every day, so it's nice to take a moment and observe our achievements and congratulate ourselves for another year well done.
