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!

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
Thanks from ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health
The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy. I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.
Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman
"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
