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!

Thanks from Alum Eliot Quon, Postdoctoral Researcher at National Renewable Energy Laboratory

ARCS Foundation has been a highlight of my academic career thus far, thank you for the support!

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.

Thanks from Scholar Kira Newman

"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."
