On Dec 4, the SAG-AFTRA New York Host Committee held its annual Holiday Open House at the New York office. SAG-AFTRA New York Local President Ezra Knight, Executive Vice President and New York Local Vice President Linda Powell, and members of the New York Local Board took part in the celebration. It was a festive afternoon with hundreds of members gathered to enjoy refreshments, good company and holiday cheer with one another.

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation hosted small tours of both the Voiceover and On-Camera Labs that are located on the fifth floor of 1900 Broadway. Many members shared that this is their favorite SAG-AFTRA event. A special thanks to the New York Host Committee and all of the volunteers who made this event happen!
