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 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."

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..."

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."
