Join us December 16 from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at Decades in Lancaster for an evening of food, drinks, entertainment, and celebration with SMPS Central PA.

The holidays are a perfect time to gather with our members and guests and reflect on another great year for the chapter. We’ll take a look back at the past year’s highlights and accomplishments, present our chapter awards, and share our progress toward our strategic plan goals.

We’ll also introduce the 2027 Board of Directors and Committee Chairs and give you a sneak peek at what’s ahead for the chapter in the coming year.

Parking:
The North Queen Street Parking Garage (424 N. Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603) is directly beside the venue. Street parking is also available.
