On December 19th the UEB Dallas office celebrated the holiday season with a night of bowling at The Bowl and Barrel.  It was a rare occasion that every Dallas UEB family member was able to gather together and discover some incredible bowling talent!  The Dallas office has been fortunate to experience a steady growth over the past 2 ½ years limiting time and accessibility for everyone to see each other through projects.  A great appreciation is extended to the wonderful, dedicated UEB team reaching for greater opportunities allowing for these celebrations.  Wishing everyone a successful 2013!
