Our business is built on referrals so we love to celebrate our clients that have referred us to their friends, family and co-workers. This year we decided to “get locked in and party our way out” at Red Door Escape Room in Rancho Cordova. We had so much fun working together to solve the clues and escape successfully! We then headed over to Out of Bounds Brewery to continue the fun, enjoy dinner together and win some amazing raffle prizes. Special thanks to our Co-host, Lynn Lizarraga of First Citizen Bank, Cindi Taylor of Big Valley Mortgage for donating 3 days at her Tahoe Donner cabin and to The Shop in Granite Bay for donating a kitchen themed raffle basket from their lovely shop.
