Dear ARCS MWC Members,

April was a busy month! There were numerous highlights, from the Eagle Award Celebration to the five university visits. The university visits allowed us to see firsthand the amazing talents of our scholars and the appreciation of our university partners. Special thanks to Michelle Francis for organizing these visits and to all members who reached out to carpool. More details are provided below.

We look forward to seeing you at the May 15 Membership Luncheon meeting at Yvonne Chen’s home, when your participation is most important as we elect our new Board. This will be an opportunity to thank the outgoing Board members for their dedication and welcome the incoming members. Today is the last day to RSVP for the luncheon, so click here now! 

The last ARCS MWC event of the year is the Annual End of the Year BBQ including Members, Scholars and Scholar Alumni at Patty’s home on Jun 8. Come, enjoy the fun and food, and celebrate our successful year! Registration details provided below or click here to RSVP.

As we all know, the ARCS MWC Mission to "Advance STEM in our Nation's Capital" is as important today as it was 57 years ago when our chapter was founded. The comments shared by the Deans and faculty members during the recent university visits reinforced their appreciation of our continued support during these uncertain times. Our chapter's fiscal year comes to a close on Jun 30. If you would like to donate to the scholar fund, providing an opportunity to support future scholars, now's the time! You can donate via Zelle at mwctreasurer@arcsfoundation.org, pay via check (ARCS-MWC) or donate online via the website. Also, feel free to invite a friend to donate to a cause very important to you. If you have any questions, contact Assistant Treasurer Lubna Zahir at lubnavzahie@gmail.com or one of us.

With sincere appreciation,

~ Julie Hohl and Patty Sparrell, ARCS-MWC Co-Presidents
