Thanks to Milt and Harry for a really special and wonderful appreciation dinner. The food was great, even if there was no soup :-P, but the company was better. Congratulations to the people who were given awards from their associations. It was really a good feeling to be part of the assemblage this evening. It is because of the people who work so hard to keep SCONYC going that we will continue to be a professional science organization, even in a city that does not understand the value of its science teachers. Kudos to a job well done at the conference. While attendance was not high, it was a successful according to all who attended. Thanks again for a really wonderful evening.
