From the Co-Presidents - August 2026
Dear ARCS MWC Members,
As summer begins to wind down, board members have been hard at work preparing another exciting year for ARCS Metro Washington. We have been planning our upcoming events, including this fall's Scholar Awards Reception (SAR) on Nov 5, while also beginning preliminary planning for our 2027 Eagle Award Celebration. We are looking forward to another year of supporting outstanding scholars.
We’ll kick off the new year with our Fall Membership Meeting on Sept 13, where we will announce our newest ARCS Light recipient. Each year, every ARCS Chapter selects an annual ARCS Light from its active membership to recognize an individual who has provided exceptional service and leadership in support of the Chapter. As we prepare to pass the torch, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Elli Nesbitt, whose dedication, enthusiasm, and unwavering commitment have made her a truly inspirational ARCS Light throughout the past year. Thank you, Elli, for everything you do to support our Chapter and our mission.
A special thank you to Amy Mykityshyn for graciously hosting the Fall Membership meeting, Robyn Smith for coordinating the event logistics, and to our amazing Activities Committee for their planning efforts. We appreciate all of the time and effort that goes into making these gatherings so welcoming and enjoyable.
We look forward to seeing everyone this fall as we kick off another wonderful ARCS year together!
~ Julie Hohl and Jane Riddle, ARCS MWC Co-Presidents
