On Thursday December 4, 2025, the WCBA's annual Holiday Party with cocktail reception and buffet was held at the cozy and festively decorated Westchester Hills Golf Club in White Plains, NY.  Members and friends enjoyed a lovely evening of tasty food, open bar, and great conversation. Everyone was happy to share this time with colleagues and friends in a joyful and welcoming environment!

A special thank to our friends at the Port Chester/Rye Bar Association who co-sponsored the event again this year!
