The Illinois Valley Community College Chemistry Club will present an outline of our annual activities. Each year we have a Christmas Party for underprivileged children. We monitor the water quality of the Little Vermillion River. Every semester we do chemistry demonstrations for junior high students and a separate program designed for first grade students. The club also has a lunch for the campus veterans, organizes a blood drive and runs a chemistry merit badge for Boy Scouts of America. We also attend monthly meetings with area chemical companies.
