2016 Fall Cocktail Party

ARCS Atlanta members gathered at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter for our annual fall party to celebrate our new members and our Silver Anniversary. It was a warm, fair evening and eveyone enjoyed catching up after the summer. A buffet dinner, catered by Soiree, was set up in the pool house and tables were clustered at the end of the pool to enjoy the food and conversation.

Membership VP Sally Hinkle presented the new members. She gave us highlights of their resumés and everyone was quite impressed. Silver Anniversary Chairs Ginny Plummer and Susan Higley, festively costumed, told us about some of the special activities being planned for this year. The party set the tone for the anniversary celebration that will be going on throughout the year.
