The American Gen Trade Association GemFair Dinner Dance and Awards Gala held in Tucson at the Marriott University Park Hotel on Feb. 9, sponsored by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company.

The gala is the social event of the GemFair Tucson, and a place to celebrate the learning, inspiration, and congeniality of the industry. Guests also will meet the 2008 AGTA Spectrum Awards winners, discover what they’re doing, how they’re doing it, and acquire practical applications to employ in their own businesses.

“Jewelers Mutual is honored to sponsor this lovely event for the second year,” adds Patricia Syvrud, director of Industry Relations for the Neenah, Wis.-based insurance company. “We know that those within the gem and jewelry industry have a vast base of knowledge and expertise that they are eager to share. The dinner dance creates a festive atmosphere of fraternalism that is a highlight of the Tucson gem shows and launches new friendships.”

Tickets to the AGTA Dinner Dance are still available. For more information visit the AGTA Web site, or call 800-972-1162.
