The Centenary College Chemistry Club received a commendable citation this year for the first time in 10 years.   Key to our success over our previous honorable mention award years were ensuring programming spanned all of the reporting areas – Service, Professional Development and Chapter Development.   This year we have continued our traditional programs, some of which partner with other organizations.   For the Chemistry and Physics Circus demo show we collaborate with the physics department and Admissions, which includes the event on the program for prospective students at an open house.   We assist the local American Chemical Society in providing hands-on activities at SciPort: Louisiana’s Science Center by volunteering at the event as well as preparing the supplies and helping with clean-up.   We have some standard social events at faculty homes that are anticipated each year – a waffle brunch in the fall and a progressive dinner in the winter.   To these we add professional development opportunities such as attending local ACS talks or sponsoring speakers on our campus.   Members of the organization attend the National ACS Meeting each spring without fail which helps us develop our presentation skills as well as fundraising skills to defray the costs.  Last year, we had a short business meeting each month that was open to all members to ensure that everyone had a say and contributed to putting on the events.<br/>
