new connections while enjoying life-long ones they have already made.
This annual event provides many great opportunities to network with your peers. One unique opportunity is the Ladies of Automotive Recyclers Association (LARA) breakfast. Each year, it aims to provide women auto recyclers the chance to network with each other and to greatly enhance the automotive recycling industry and the role of women within it – through education, networking, and sharing of resources. The annual ARA Awards Dinner & Gavel Passing is another opportunity to network and honor the work that members put into the industry. The ARA family
and friends will gather to recognize the profession’s “Winners Circle.” In the spirit of the checkered flag, the decor and attire theme is black and white, so dress in your best black and white, and pay tribute to the year’s hard fought races and those who helped lead us across the finish line.
Once we’ve reached the event finish line, recyclers and their families and friends have a great chance to enjoy a memorable night at the Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, October 10th. There will be plenty of time to enjoy the sights and sounds of NASCAR racing with fellow recyclers as well as time to shop, view race team trailers, and enjoy other activities. The pre-race concert, recognitions, and driver intro- ductions begin at 5:30 p.m. Then, take in the Bank of America 500 boasting 500 miles of exciting racing!
