We were excited to reconnect with all of our returning members and thrilled with all of the new members who joined us. The evening consisted of delicious food (thanks to our president Naomi), some general announcements, a few rounds of trivia. The night was rounded off with the give-away of 10 VIFF vouchers and a pass to VIFF\u2019s Totally Indie Day. Congratulation to all our winners! And a big thanks to everyone who came out and helped to make it such a fun evening!
