From
The
Chair
Deborah H.
Cook
I can’t believe this is my last Catalystcolumn. The year has gone by so quickly.
First, I want to wish all of you a very happy
Thanksgiving. I also want to thank the ACS
Board of Directors and Libby Harper for all
the help they've provided during my year as
Chair. Additionally, I want to wish Deborah
Kilmartin much success as she assumes the
responsibilities for the Section.
Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Glenn and
Barbara Hodsdon Ullyot, this month we
feature the Ullyot Lecture. Glenn was an
active member of the Section and a great
advocate of bringing the joys of chemistry to
the public. His passion for science in general,
and chemistry in particular, has translated to
support for both the Section and the Chemical
Heritage Foundation. The Ullyot lecture will
be given at the Chemical Heritage Foundation
on November 9th by Dr. Marye Anne Fox.
Please plan on attending this exciting talk and
reception.
I hope that many of you had an opportunity
to participate in National Chemistry Week
(NCW) activities. The theme, the “Joy of
Toys” also focused on the fun and joy of our
field. I want to thank Anne DeMasi and her
NCW Committee for organizing the many
events that took place. NCW is always an
exciting time to engage many people and to
make the public aware of the importance of
chemistry.
Looking forward to December, please note
that the “Chemical Demonstrations for Kids
of All Ages” will take place on December 10th
at Rutgers University-Camden Campus. I
want to extend thanks to Tom Straub of
LaSalle University and Georgia Arbuckle-
Keil of Rutgers University for organizing the
event.
Again, I want to extend warm wishes for
the start of the holiday season. May this be
a time for reflection and appreciation of all
the gifts we receive.

Date & Time: Wednesday, November

Speaker and Topic: Mark DeLuca CCN
webmaster. Does Your Online Image MatchYour Professional Image?
Abstract: What does your web page say
about you? Obviously, your lifetime
achievements are more significant than what
can be included on a web page. But, when the
people who already know you are not sending
you the level of business you are looking for,
it's time to use your web page to help the
world know who you are, what you have
done, and what you might accomplish given
the chance. Chemical industry professionals
tend not to be prone toward self promotion.
However, if you want to be a successful
chemical consultant, it is absolutely necessary
to communicate what you can do for potential
customers.
Location: The Cynwyd Club, 332 Trevor
Lane, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004.
Reservation: To make or cancel a dinner
reservation, e-mail CCNReservations@
aol.com or call the ACS office at 215-382-
1589 (leave message on voicemail if
necessary). Fee, including food and beverages,
is $35. Early Bird discount price is $25 if
reserved by the Thursday before the meet-
ing. Late reservations and walk-ins subject
to availability. No-shows will be invoiced.
