On January 8th eight lucky winners assembled at Carolynn Cooper’s house for the wine tasting they purchased at the fall cocktail party. The group started with a French champagne accompanied by brie cheese and fig spread along with caviar deviled eggs. This was followed by 2 white wines with food pairings, two red wines with food pairings and the group finished with Gewurztraminer along with dessert. New member Barbara Bing, her husband, Stuart Pliner along with Carolynn and Pratap chose the wines and prepared all the food. Everyone said they hoped it would be on the auction list next time. Cheers!

I am immensely grateful to the ARCS Foundation and Turner Enterprises for making my award possible. I am honored to have been part of the talented and promising group of young researchers from the Atlanta-area!
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..."
