This is the Chicago Section ACS/Chicago Chemists Club/Iota Sigma Pi Annual Holiday
party/meeting. At
this event, everyone is a chemist (either practicing or honorary)! Come
join in the celebration with all your fellow chemists. So, in addition
to our technical program, Santa will be bringing gifts! ENJOY!
We are asking you to also bring a gift!!! Please bring some canned food or other non-perishable food item (in non-glass containers) that we, as the ACS, can donate to a charity for needy people in the Chicagoland area. Let's share our good fortune in the spirit of the season. THANKS!!
