The Maryland Limousine Association (MLA) threw a rockin’ holiday bash last month.

The association’s holiday party was a pure celebration with food, music, and plenty of libations. Organized by Mike Greene of A Platinum Plus Limousine and Shirl Johnson of Lighthouse Limousines, the MLA holiday party was open to all MLA members and their families and staff. The MLA even provided each member with one free ticket each.

Partygoers, including Limo Digest Associate Editor Liz Hunter, got dolled up for the night and enjoyed cocktails and a buffet dinner at the Double Tree Hotel in Baltimore. The night began innocently enough, because after dinner the party really started.

MLA members Kim and Ron Klein of Lasting Impressions also moonlight as DJs and they were on hand to provide the tunes for the evening. The holiday classics led into some old school favorites and there were a few surprises as well. We’ve seen a lot of things in our years in this industry, but it was a first when some male MLA members ran onto the dance floor in pink wigs and feather boas to impersonate The Supremes. We’ll never look at Mike Greene and Mike Ballard the same way. There was also a special appearance by Elvis and another by James Brown, executed quite nicely by Marvin Prince of LSA Corporate Car.

Eventually everyone ended up on the dance floor and it was a great way to end 2011 for the MLA. President Joanna Fridinger of The Limo Lady says she couldn’t be happier with the way the party turned out. “I purposely avoided raffles or things like that so we could all come here and really celebrate each other and making it through the year,” she says. “The food was fantastic and Kim and Ron’s DJ skills really made it a party.”
