Greetings fellow NY Chemist,

We, as leaders of the local sections of New York, are gauging interest in an autumn weekend
rendezvous in the Finger Lakes Region. The purpose of this gathering is to provide an
opportunity for chemists across the state to meet and socialize with fellow scientists in an
effort to build camaraderie. The aim of the event is to facilitate discussion and collaborations
among people from academia, industry, and government agencies. We welcome you and your
significant other to take advantage of the natural and cultural offerings of the Finger Lakes
region. While this event is still in the planning stages, we envision activities such as winery/
brewery tours and a banquet dinner with speakers from local wineries.
In order to help us in planning this event, we would appreciate if you would take a moment to answer
the following questions:

Question Title

* 1. How likely would you be to attend such an event?

Question Title

* 2. If you attend this event, would you plan to stay overnight on Saturday? (we will look into reserving a block of hotel rooms)

Question Title

* 3. The ACS local sections will defray as many costs as possible, but how much money would you be willing to spend (per couple) to attend such an event?

Question Title

* 4. Are you interested in an associated winery and/or brewery tour?

Question Title

* 5. Do you have any suggestions or comments about this event?

Question Title
