A NOTE FROM THE CHAIR ABOUT PAYMENT: The NY/NJ AACT annual chocolate and wine dinner is a much loved event that is usually a sell out! Once you are registered for the event, you have made a commitment that you will pay. If you get sick, are called out of town, or otherwise cannot make it, we must bill you. Either you pay, or our scholarship students pay; if we lose money, our scholarship fund loses money! I hope you understand, and we look forward to seeing you on February 25!

Hope to see you there!
