SSI recently celebrated our 2009 year with a wonderful dinner at Bravo's in Greensboro! While we were missing a couple of our favorite designers, all that attended had a great time! We honored Gina Alem and Melinda Dickey with their "Designer of the Year" designations for 2008 & 2009 respectively; and our design intern/assistant Jackie Alvarez for her creative graphic contributions for the Chic Chateau ticket, poster and program design.
