2015 Fall Cocktail Party

The Atlanta Chapter of ARCS Foundation held its annual Fall Cocktail Party on Sunday, September 27th, the night of the Super Blood Moon eclipse! Although it had rained earlier in the day, more than 100 members and guests were able to spend the lovely fall evening together mingling outdoors. Chapter President, Jane Dolinger, welcomed everyone and thanked our hosts, Leslie and Skip Petter, for their generosity and willingness to share their home with us once again. The remainder of the program focused on VP for Membership, Sally Hinkle, who introduced our special guests: 7 of the Chapter's 8 new members.

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 Natale Sciolino

"Thank you dearly for your generous contribution to my scientific development. Your contribution has had a profound impact on me at both a personal and professional level. It is a privilege to be an ARCS Scholar, and with this support I will continue to pursue research that aims to advance Neuroscience."
