ACA Christmas cartoon 2009

On behalf of the ACA’s Committee of Management, we’d like to wish you and your family a wonderful Festive Season and an awesome New Year!
After a year of political ups and downs, taxes and treachery, ongoing wars and the adventures of Tiger Woods, it’ll be great to finally take a break and relax listening to the latest news on climate change.
Enjoy your Festive Season in a generally safe fashion as we’d love to see you all again in 2010.
Happy Holidays from the ACA!
Jules Faber
ACA President
