NEW YORK—Members of the Greater New York Floor Coverers Association (GNYFCA) Industry Promotional Fund recently gathered here at Valbella restaurant, located in the heart of the city’s meatpacking district. Guests enjoyed great food, wine and conversation during the organization’s annual holiday luncheon.

At this year’s party, the association brought new meaning to the term “family style” as multiple generations of flooring contractors were represented when three sets of father/son teams posed for FCNews.
