The American Chemical Society Chapter at Suffolk University kept with the tradition of having four major objectives in order to ensure a successful year. Our goals were to interact with K-12 students, 1) promote chemistry, 2)hosting and attending green chemistry events, 3) increasing our interactions with other chemists in local sections, and 4) to recruit new members in various areas of study. The chapter worked with local middle schools performing science experiments and teaching the twelve principles of green chemistry as well as volunteering an after-school tutoring programfor those who wanted/needed assistance. Kate Andreson and Raksmey Derival, from non-profit organization Beyond Benign, again offered fellowship opportunities to our chapter members that allowed us to perform experiments in local schools further promoting the concepts of green chemistry. The chapter participated in many events during National Chemistry Week, with a theme of �Chemistry! Its Elemental�, including demonstrations at the Boston Children' Museum and the Museum of Science as well as initiating a local canned food drive where students could donate an aluminum can in exchange for a t-shirt to tie-dye. The process for recruiting new members occurred through campus wide Mole Day initiatives. Further recruitment involved the Temple Street Fair as well as various booths in the Suffolk business and law schools promoting our chapter.  Our chapter again involved Suffolk University as well as the City of Boston in organizing the second annual Earth Hour event. This event showcased our dedication to helping the community and the planet, as well as our seriousness to the conservation energy. An interaction with chemists, biologists and other scientists could be accomplished through our attendance of NESACS regular, local meetings.  The success and dedication of our chapter could not have been accomplished without the help of our advisors, members, co-workers, friends and acquaintances.
