Dear ARA Members,

Our Holiday “Lupper” will be held on Friday, December 8, 2023, on the Alcon campus in the Crossroads Conference Center (old Alcon cafeteria). We are pleased to welcome David Endicott, Chief Executive Officer, Alcon, back this year to be our speaker. As usual, it will be a festive event. Plan to arrive at 11:30 to sign in. See the agenda below.

Gary Rush and the Maxwell Hall Band are returning to play jazzy holiday music. After the program, we’ll have our traditional raffle and play some games like Alcon Trivia.

Parking spaces will be reserved in the same location as before, directly across from Tower A and a short walk to the Alcon Crossroads Conference Center (old cafeteria). Golf carts will be available for those needing assistance.  

If you want to attend, make your reservations no later than December 1st.  You can email us at ARA-RSVP@alcon-ara.com or leave a voicemail on our Alcon number, 610-670-3801, to make your reservation. This will help us know how many are attending in order to have appropriate seating and food for all.

As usual for our annual Lupper, the fee for members is $10 and $15 for guests. If you haven’t paid your $10 dues for 2024, you can do so when you sign in or send your check to:
