It’s was a time for employers of TAO Members to spend quality time with their employees and/or service providers a chance to say thank you to their clients with a round of golf.

The organization’s annual gala, Party in the Pinot, was held Saturday, July 27th at Oswego Hills Winery. About 400 of the area’s technology executives and service providers joined the celebration.

This event featured interactive components including a whiskey soda lounge, music and dancing, dessert stations, and the very popular scotch and cigar bar.

In addition, a Silent and Oral Wine Auction raised funds to support the education robotics programs or FIRST.

Kari Zotti Naone and Charlie Naone joined in the celebration at Oswego Hills Vineyard & Winery.

Community Partners for the organization include government agencies, trade associations, non-profit and professional organizations, user groups, and educational institutions – many of which are listed below.
