The 2024 Fall Party, “La Bella Notte” was held at the lovely home of Ellen Adair and Henry Wyche. Continuing our Fall Party tradition, President Carolynn Cooper welcomed the guests, and VP Membership Patty Reid introduced four of our five new members: Erin Drury Boorn, Ashley Cornelison, Barbara Bing Pliner and Sallie Topfl. We missed Meredith Carpenter but look forward to welcoming her at our General Membership Meeting in January. The beautiful buffet dinner was catered by veteran culinary team, Bill and Vada Stallworth and Arla Fredericks of Stallworth Catering. The highlight of the evening was a fun and successful auction of six sought-after items and experiences donated by ARCS members and friends. Ellen Adair was our expert auctioneer! Many thanks to Special Events Chair Tricia Rosenbaum and Chair-Elect Cathey Millichap for organizing this beautiful evening in Italy!
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."
Thanks from Alum Alejandro Toriella, PhD, Assistant Professor, Industrial Engineering, Georgia Tech
Thank you very much for your support. It meant a lot. I had the opportunity to return to Tech as a faculty member last year. I’m very happy to be back and hope I can advise a future ARCS scholar soon!
Thanks from Scholar Kevin Yehl
"I was very fortunate to be selected as one of this year's ARCS scholars... I plan to pursue an academic career in chemistry... Your support will allow me to continue my biomedical research in developing novel strateigies to treat drug resistant cancers and cardiovascular diseases... Again, thank you so much for your support of the sciences and post graduate education, both of which are very important in keeping America competitive..."
