Message from the Chair - January 2008

Happy New Year!

As I look forward to 2008, I can say that I am very excited about the prospects that the new year holds. In particular, I am looking forward to the visit of Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann for our Annual Dinner on February 15. When I invited Dr. Hoffmann, I mentioned that I was first introduced to him via a video in my high school chemistry class - and now I get to meet him in person!

I am also looking forward to meeting many of you in person over the course of this year. Whether it is at the annual dinner or at one of the other events scheduled for 2008, please take some time to talk to me in person. We have a number of events in store including old favorites like the Harrison Howe award and symposium, the popular High School Awards Celebrations, as well as new events designed to reach out to the community around us.

I hope that you will join me in making 2008 a great year for the Rochester Section of the ACS!

Sincerely,

Rich Hartmann
