Robert C. Witt Award Recently ARIA received a total of $6,000 from various donors to fund the Witt Award! Thank you for the generosity of everyone who has made a contribution. Since the Witt Award monies now exceed the $10,000 threshold established for paying out award money, ARIA will be able to give a $500 award to the Witt Award winner this year at the annual meeting. The goal for the Robert C. Witt award is to give a $1,000 award to the author(s) of the best feature article in the JRI. The award should be funded at $20,000 in order to maintain the principal amount. We encourage all who knew and loved Bob to consider making a contribution to the fund, no matter how large or small. Make checks payable to ARIA. Note that the money is intended for the Witt Award. Contributions should be mailed to: ARIA716 Providence RoadMalvern, PA 19355-3402
