The 2024 Fall Party, “La Bella Notte” was held at the lovely home of Ellen Adair and Henry Wyche. Continuing our Fall Party tradition, President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the guests, and VP Membership Patty Reid introduced four of our five new members: Erin Drury Boorn, Ashley Cornelison, Barbara Bing Pliner and Sallie Topfl. We missed Meredith Carpenter but look forward to welcoming her at our General Membership Meeting in January. The beautiful buffet dinner was catered by veteran culinary team, Bill and Vada Stallworth and Arla Fredericks of Stallworth Catering. The highlight of the evening was a fun and successful auction of six sought-after items and experiences donated by ARCS members and friends. Ellen Adair was our expert auctioneer! Many thanks to Special Events Chair Tricia Rosenbaum and Chair-Elect Cathey Millichap for organizing this beautiful evening in Italy!

Let me start by saying how thankful I am for being selected as an ARCS scholar. I consider it one of my greatest achievements thus far and I am immensely proud to count myself as one of the amazing group of students that your organization selected to receive this award. I want you ladies to know you are doing an outstanding job! You all are embarked on a truly altruistic endeavor and it is my fervent prayer that this organization thrives for years to come.
