In current events, the St Louis Section has added to its trove in 2009. Arindam Roy’s energy, organizing skills, and recruitment of other officers created a continual series of meetings and special events that benefited younger—and not-so-younger—chemists throughout the year. The YCC brought home the 2009 ChemLuminary Award for Best New Local Section Younger Chemists Committee.
