Message from the Chair - February 2007

As we enter the month of February, I want to send a final reminder about the Annual Dinner Meeting that is taking place Friday, February 9th at Rick’s Prime Rib House. It is indeed a special event when we can have the ACS President come to Rochester to meet with us, and Katie Hunt will be offering a wonderful presentation that evening. Let’s have a great turnout for this event!

So, we are off and running! I hope that you found the letter from me with information for the year ahead useful. We have also received many compliments about our new electronic newsletter. “The CHEMunicator” allows us to place timely and up-to-date information in your hands (or at least on your computer screen) on a monthly basis.

In 2007 we are offering two joint events with neighboring local sections that I would like to highlight.

On Saturday May 12, we are planning a joint event with the Western New York Section. The program is still being finalized, but will likely be a bus trip for our members to an event in Buffalo/Niagara Falls. Please stay tuned for more information.

On Saturday, June 23, we are offering a bus trip to Corning that will give us the opportunity to meet up with members of the Corning Section for a day at the Corning Museum of Glass. Please plan on joining us for a day of touring, shopping at the museum, some presentations and a dinner. The cost of this event is $20.00 each for ACS members and one guest, and includes bus transportation to Corning, entrance fees to the Corning Museum of Glass, and a Chinese dinner with members of the Corning Section. There is alimit of 50 people for this trip. Please contact me directly for more information or to reserve your spot (585-477-4903, d.richard.cobb@kodak.com).

Please watch for opportunities to become involved in the Rochester Section, both as a volunteer and socially. There are many areas in which we can use some volunteer help for a few hours or on a small project, and we would be glad to match up your interest with the right opportunity.

This is an exciting time for us and I am sure you will not want to miss anything! I also ask that you send your thoughts, ideas and volunteer interests on to me – As Chair, I am here to serve you – the Members of the Rochester Section. This is YOUR Section!
