From Elizabeth Bergman, Immediate Past ACS Chair, St. Louis Section:
First, let me offer a hearty congratulations to high school participants and winners of the Chemistry Olympiad at UMSL, as well as those college students nominated by their professors as exemplary. Congratulations are also in order for our High School Teacher of the Year and Chemical Technology Award Winners! The local St. Louis branch of the American Chemical Society would like to recognize your work and will host an awards banquet to celebrate, Tuesday, April 21st, at 6:30 PM at Favazza’s on the Hill (5201 Southwest Avenue, St. Louis MO 63139). Students and mentoring faculty will be hosted to a complimentary dinner at which the awards will be presented. Additional dinners are available for $38 to allow family and friends to share in the event. This can be paid via PayPal before the event (use email STLACStreas@gmail.com) or via alternate arrangements if necessary. Please confirm any necessary special diet options with Favazza’s in advance. An option to attend the award ceremony only, also exists. We anticipate this will begin at approximately 7:15 PM.
For those attending the event, please RSVP to myself, the banquet coordinator and volunteer, Elizabeth Bergman at etsbergman <at> gmail.com with the subject title: St. Louis ACS Awards Night. In the email please state the student name, school, and attendees in addition to the student. If you have folks in your party unable to attend the dinner, but can attend the award ceremony, please make a note and we will ensure there are chairs prepared for them.
Example: Charlise Norman, Gateway Stem Academy, student + 4 attendees for dinner;
This counts 5 attendees, student (no charge), 4 x $38 = $152/due at dinner
Example: Evelyn Patel, Parkway North High School, Julia Roberts (faculty);
This counts one faculty (no charge)
Example: Maria Morris, Fox High School, student + 2 awards only;
This counts one student for dinner (no charge), and two for the awards only (no charge)
Students, please share this message with your family and faculty to ensure they know that they are invited to celebrate with us!
