2016 Fall Cocktail Party

ARCS Atlanta members gathered at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter for our annual fall party to celebrate our new members and our Silver Anniversary.  It was a warm, fair evening and eveyone enjoyed catching up after the summer.  A buffet dinner, catered by Soiree, was set up in the pool house and tables were clustered at the end of the pool to enjoy the food and conversation.

Membership VP Sally Hinkle presented the new members.  She gave us highlights of their resumés and everyone was quite impressed.  Silver Anniversary Chairs Ginny Plummer and Susan Higley, festively costumed, told us about some of the special activities being planned for this year.  The party set the tone for the anniversary celebration that will be going on throughout the year.

  • President Sara Jean Burke with two of our Founding Members, Clare Whitfield and Paula Bevington

  • Special Events Chair June Tompkins and Chair Elect Carolynn Cooper

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."

Thanks from Alum Courtney Pollard, III, MD, PhD, MedStar Harbor Hospital, Baltimore

Let me start by saying how thankful I am for being selected as an ARCS scholar.  I consider it one of my greatest achievements thus far and I am immensely proud to count myself as one of the amazing group of students that your organization selected to receive this award.  I want you ladies to know you are doing an outstanding job!  You all are embarked on a truly altruistic endeavor and it is my fervent prayer that this organization thrives for years to come.

Thanks from ARCS Atlanta Scholar Alum Deborah Kilpatrick, CEO Evidation Health

The work you (ARCS Foundation Atlanta members) have all done is tremendous, and I am so proud to be a part of that legacy.  I hope that my work is making you all feel that there has been a good return on your investment.
