In December, the chapter held its annual charity outreach event. For the past three years, the chapter has chosen an organization to receive our speaker honorariums and to be hosted in December. For the 2007 - 2008 program cycle the charity is the Fisher House, St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis was chosen because of its VA Center polytrauma site that offers rehabilitation programs for such severe injuries as amputations, blindness, burns and spinal cord and brain trauma. The local campaign's goal is to raise $2.5 million, about half the cost; the remainder would be contributed by the Fisher House Foundation. Additionally, the chapter honored Candace Caveny of O'Fallon Township High School with a $1,000 Science Teaching Tools Award, and also honored Eric Lubeck as AFCEAN of the Month for his outstanding work running the 2007 Scholarship Golf Tournament last June.
