Summer is about halfway finished as I
write this, and we just got finished with one hot spell. Enjoy the
rest of the summer: barbecues, beach or swim parties, kicking back with
a tall glass of something cold, vacations to all sorts of interesting places.
As is the section’s usual custom, there will be no meeting in August.
The Nominating Committee has selected
a slate of nominees for Chair Elect, Secretary, Treasurer, those Counselors
and Alternate Counselors whose terms are completed this year, and for an
Alternate Councilor to replace one who resigned. The slate has been approved
by your ExComm. The ExComm has decided on using Vote-Now as the medium
to take care of the electronic elections this fall. A committee has
been set up to work through the mechanics of what we need to send Vote-Now.
We will keep you posted in the newsletter, and probably on the web site
as well as to when the elections will actually occur.
This year’s Radding award recipient
was Dr. Dorothy Phillips. As Dr. Phillips could not make it to the
picnic, her award will be presented to her at the Analytical Division dinner
at the fall National Meeting in Philadelphia.
Volunteers will be needed to help
with the National Chemistry Week activities in October. Please contact
if you can spend some time helping.
Natalie McClure, Program Chair and
Chair Elect, is planning the schedule of speakers for next year.
If you know of someone that you would like to suggest as a potential speaker
for a monthly meeting, please contact
with that information.
Our regular monthly meetings will
resume on September
18.
