Thanks from Scholar Laura Redmond
"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."
It was a crisp fall evening for the 2021 Fall Party at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter. With nearly 100 guests attending, the party was a joyous outdoor gathering to celebrate the beginning of the new ARCS year and to welcome our four outstanding new members Barbara Bazzel, Beth Cabrera, Rebecca Gupta, and Gina Lim.
President Leslie Petter welcomed the group and VP Membership Patty Reid introduced the new members. Special Events Chair Betsy Kazazian and Chair-elect Ann Taylor created a fabulous Fete Française which was beautifully carried out by Mary Hataway’s Soiree Catering and Events.

Leslie Petter addresses the members

"I want to thank you again for supporting my career development, and I look forward to encouraging the development of future scientists as an ARCS Scholar Alum."
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.
"I can only begin to express how grateful I am for the freedom to pursue an independent line of research without having to worry about how I will pay for the necessary lab supplies or training. This award is allowing me to answer broader and more valuable questions than I had previously thought possible... Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and belief in my potential as a scientist."
