Our next ARA luncheon will be held on Friday, June 20th, 2025, in the Alcon Crossroads Conference Center (old Alcon Cafeteria). Tom McDonald, PhD, will return to speak to us about his book, Alcon Laboratories, A Vision Fulfilled, 1947-1997. Please join us to celebrate its recent publication and book signing. We enjoyed his previous presentations while the book was in progress.
Tom McDonald will be signing books before lunch and after the Announcements.
You can bring your book for his signature if you have already purchased one. Books will also be available for purchase during the luncheon. Advance purchases can be made by using the link here. For a 25% discount, use the code 025ALC25.
