ACRTA Executive Board Announces 2025 - 2026 Meeting Schedule, Programs and Reduced Meal Costs.
The ACRTA Board decided to use the same venue, Christ United Methodist Church at 1140 Claremont Ave., for all meetings (click HERE for directions). Due to very positive reponses from the membership, we will also use the same caterer, Exclusively Yours, for 2025-26. Meal reservations, which must be made ONE WEEK Prior to meetings, have been reduced to $12.00 per attendee. All programs begin at 11:30.
