2016 Fall Cocktail Party

ARCS Atlanta members gathered at the home of Leslie and Skip Petter for our annual fall party to celebrate our new members and our Silver Anniversary.  It was a warm, fair evening and eveyone enjoyed catching up after the summer.  A buffet dinner, catered by Soiree, was set up in the pool house and tables were clustered at the end of the pool to enjoy the food and conversation.

Membership VP Sally Hinkle presented the new members.  She gave us highlights of their resumés and everyone was quite impressed.  Silver Anniversary Chairs Ginny Plummer and Susan Higley, festively costumed, told us about some of the special activities being planned for this year.  The party set the tone for the anniversary celebration that will be going on throughout the year.

  • Special Events Chair June Tompkins and Chair Elect Carolynn Cooper

"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 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 Alum Courtney Pollard, III, MD, PhD, MedStar Harbor Hospital, Baltimore

Let me start by saying how thankful I am for being selected as an ARCS scholar.  I consider it one of my greatest achievements thus far and I am immensely proud to count myself as one of the amazing group of students that your organization selected to receive this award.  I want you ladies to know you are doing an outstanding job!  You all are embarked on a truly altruistic endeavor and it is my fervent prayer that this organization thrives for years to come.
