This is due to an exciting new event this year on Thursday: Sargent & Greenleaf’s 50th anniversary celebra- tion! Join us at Sargent & Greenleaf’s facilities to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. There will be a facility tour, food and drinks. Transportation to and from the event will be provided. For the Kick-Off Party and Friends of SAVTA Live Auction, we also have something special planned. This year, it will be held off-site at the Lockmas- ters, Inc. headquarters. This is a unique opportunity to tour its headquarters, learn company history and celebrate its 75th anniversary! This is a great chance to mix and mingle with suppliers and colleagues while raising money for SAVTA. Lockmasters, Inc. has gener- ously sponsored the event for years, and now they get to play host as well. Transportation will be provided to and from the event.
