This year's theme was "Chemistry - Our Health, Our Future!” corresponding with the fourth theme of the International Year of Chemistry. With the help of volunteers from Princeton University, our Princeton ACS Section, and Princeton High School teachers Carol Lee and Janine Giammanco and 45 Princeton High School chemistry students, event coordinators Kitty Wagner and Allen Jones organized 19 demonstrations and hands-on activities around the NCW theme.  These included studying effective ways of washing hands, measuring hair thickness with a laser, using LED diffraction to show how our eyes blend colors to make white, how to measure chloride ion in water and studying antacid action with a red cabbage indicator.

There was a full house with an estimated 400 visitors from the community.  Based on the many positive comments received from the departing guests, a good time was had by all.  Many thanks to all the volunteers who made this event a success again this year!
