In addition to updating the membership on ARTA and its plans for the coming year, President Don Pedder honored retiring Executive Director Bill Carroll, as well as longtime board member Grace Howe (who left the board last fall). ARTA's Member Breakfast was held June 12 at the Las Vegas Hilton.

“The accomplishments of ARTAover the years are many,” said Carroll.“The future of ARTAnow rests in your capable hands. I desire much success for you and ARTA in the years to come.”
