2014 Fall Cocktail Party
On Sunday, October 5th, the Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation held its annual Fall Cocktail Party at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter. More than 120 members and guests spent the lovely fall evening together, greeting both old and new friends. Chapter President, Jane Dolinger, welcomed everyone and quickly turned the program over to the VP for Membership, Lee Doyle, who introduced the Chapter's 10 new members, providing a short biography for each. Following this, Debbie Liss surprised everyone by auctioning off 4 bottles of fine wine and raising $2,700 for the Atlanta Chapter Endowment Fund. Everyone agreed this was a fantastic kick-off for the Chapter's new year of events!

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!
