TACNY ~ Celebration of Technology Awards Banquet
Congratulations to Howie Hollander and the TACNY "Celebration of Technology Awards Banquet" committee for a very successful event held on this past Monday, September 19th. The evening saw many excellent displays, including CNS High School (Marty Miner & students) with their Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car, Henninger/Lincoln City School's STEM Rocketry Club and our own CNYTEEA Display. As most of you know many of our members are also TACNY members and quite of few have been very active in the leadership of the organization, Vern Tryon, Tom Frawley, Steve Poydock and currently Joey Pesce to name a few.
Their Keynote speaker, Deanne Bell, was outstanding! She is a true engineer who has made her fame with her hosting of many television series, including the current ESPN show, Rise Up. Deanne & Howie traveled across the entire region visiting various Technology Education programs (Lincoln Middle School, D.S. Ray Middle School, Cazenovia High School and ESM High School). She was outstanding during her visit to Ray and was a tremendous role model for our female students!
Here is a link to one of the Syracuse Post Standard articles about her visit to Lincoln.
