January Membership Meeting and Luncheon

On January 10, 2018, our Winter Meeting and Luncheon was held at the Woodruff Arts Center.   Our speaker was Dr. Wally Curran, Executive Director of the Winship Cancer Center at Emory University.   As is our tradition, the ARCS Light for 2018 was announced.  The membership was asked to submit nominations which were then voted on by the past ARCS Lights.   Susan Higley is this year's ARCS Light.  Gracia Conn, last year's ARCS Light presented the award to Susan.

Following the meeting and luncheon, Carolynn Cooper arrange for members to have a guided tour of one of the current exhibits: Al Taylor, What Are You Looking At?
