The Knoxville Chapter members and their guests enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Foundry and then celebrated the efforts of all the volunteers that make our chapter successful. We were delighted to have Darson Buckner, past CSI president, to MC the event. Then 3 members were recognized for their extra efforts with a Stepping Up Award. These went to Ginger Aspurua, Katie Goethert and Peter Giddings. The committee chairs received certificates of appreciation and small gifts that tied to their roles; Samer Shatara- Membership Chair; Tyler Goza - Programs Chair; Stacy Colbaugh- Communications Chair; Collin Rummage - Student Affiliate president; Wes Crow - Golf Tournament Chair. Our officers were also recognized: Geoffrey Cavalier - Secretary; Whitney Kaul - Treasurer; and Brent Williams-President-Elect. Aaron Miller (a.k.a Yoda the Wise) received his certificate and a Yoda bobblehead for his desk. The top awards for the evening are the Edward Bankston Award which Geoffrey Cavalier received; the Miller Euler Award, which Stacy Colbaugh received and the top award went to Suzan Jordan, the Gunnar Kraft Award. Wes Crow was honored for the two decades of running our golf tournaments by learning that we are naming our golf tournament after him.
