Reflect - Hard Candy Holidays Chapter Awards Celebration

A Sweet Celebration of Connection and Community.

Our Hard Candy Holidays Chapter Awards Celebration on Friday, December 5 at the Holiday Inn Austin Town Lake offered a meaningful opportunity to pause, reconnect, and reflect on a strong year for MPI Texas Hill Country Chapter. It was an evening rooted in community, recognition, and the shared work we do every day to bring people together through meetings and events.

From the moment guests arrived, the room was filled with conversation and familiar faces. Circa set the tone with beautiful holiday décor that brought warmth and seasonal charm to the space, while Ideal Productions provided seamless audio visual support that kept the evening flowing effortlessly. It was a reminder of how thoughtful design and technical excellence create an environment where connection can truly happen.

Honoring Excellence and Welcoming What’s Next

The evening gave us the opportunity to recognize outstanding members whose leadership, service, and dedication made 2025 a remarkable year for our chapter. Celebrating these achievements together was a true highlight of the night.

We also proudly welcomed the 2026 Board of Directors, marking an exciting transition and setting the stage for another year of growth, collaboration, and impact.

Moments like these reinforce the strength of our chapter and the people who continue to invest their time and talent.

Music, Movement, and Meaningful Moments

A big thank you to VEGAs DJ Services for keeping the energy high throughout the night. The music brought people together, kept the dance floor active, and added an extra layer of fun to the celebration. There were plenty of smiles, shared laughter, and yes, a few heartfelt tears as milestones were recognized and stories were shared.
