Last year LSI provided one of our Mini-Grants ($250) to a school science
teacher in Ohio who wanted funds to run a "Lab Safety Fair". This is a sci
ence
fair where all the projects are on lab safety topics. The 24 high school
students did eight lab safety projects and then took the projects to the ju
nior
high schools to teach lab safety to the younger students.
Perhaps DCHAS would like to encourage this type of activity on a broader
basis. It might be a good topic for an Innovative Projects Grant.
The write-up/final report of the Lab Safety Fair Mini-Grant Project appears
in the most recent issue of Speaking of Safety, LSI's newsletter.
Anyone interest in talking further about this one? ... Jim

I've had a chance to update the CHAS web site at
http://www.dchas.org
with three new items:
1. The CHAS workshop schedule for the Salt Lake City national meetings
next March 20 and 21. The workshops being offered are:
- Laboratory Waste Management Workshop
- Lab Safety Seminar
- How to be a More Effective Chemical Hygiene Officer
- Reactive Chemical Management for Laboratories
2. News on the ACS Divisional Innovative Project grants program
Do you have a great idea for a Division activity that needs funding?
There are TWO opportunities to apply for Innovative Project grants for
2009=E2=80=A6 one in the Spring (due February 1) and one in the Fall (due J
uly
1). There is a limit of $7500 per grant, up to two totaling no more
than $12,500 for each Division.
Want to stage a Webinar? Have a great idea for a publication
benefiting the Division? Need materials for a National Chemical Week
event? Would you like to establish a scholarship for a Safety
Undergraduate student? Want to put on an event at a Regional
meeting? Here=E2=80=99s your chance=E2=80=A6..
3. Survey results
A summary of the results of the membership survey we recently
completed. I haven't had a chance to throughly review the results and
comments yet, but expect to develop a summary of the responses and
plan of action based on them early in 2009.
Happy Holidays to everyone in CHAS! Stay tuned for an exciting 2009...
