===================== ARCHIMEDES SOCIETY ========================
The Archimedes Society helps MSRI to implement important programs
and, diversify and plan its future funding. Archimedes Society
donor levels celebrate interesting numbers and places. For example,
the FIBONACCI Donor Level recognizes donors who contribute $34 TO $89.
Both the upper and lower end of this range are Fibonacci Numbers. 34
is also the magic constant of a 4-by-4 magic square. All Archimedes
Society donors are invited at no or reduced cost to special events,
and are offered reserved seating and special post-event receptions.
To join the Archimedes Society, please go to:
http://www.msri.org/alumdev/archimedes/index_html.
MSRI Trustee Will Hearst chairs the Archimedes Society.
MSRI would also welcome mention in your Will or Living Trust. Visit
http://www.msri.org/alumdev/ways/plannedgifts for more information.
Please notify MSRI's Development Director, Jim Sotiros, at
JSotiros _AT- msri.org or 510-643-6056 when you have done so, and you will
be recognized in the MSRI Gauss Society.
The first meeting of the Gauss Society took place on Jan. 6, 2007 at
a dinner recognizing members at Galatoire's restaurant in New Orleans
during the Joint Meetings. The second Gauss Society dinner took place
on Jan. 7, 2008 at the JSix restaurant during the Joint Meetings in
San Diego. Please join and plan on dining with us in Washington, D.C.
Doug Lind chairs the Gauss Society.

=============== JULIA ROBINSON MATHEMATICS FESTIVAL =============
MSRI is pleased to co-sponsor the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival
at two Bay Area locations this year: at Google's Headquarters at 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View on SUNDAY, MAY 4, 2008 and on
Pixar Studio's campus in Emeryville on SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2008. The
annual festival, which is completely free for all attendees, is aimed
at students in grades 6-12. The day will consist of morning mathematical
activities, lunch, a math-circle style talk by a distinguished guest
speaker and, of course, prizes! The event runs from 8:30am to 3pm. The
Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival is made possible by support from
the desJardins/Blachman Fund and by Google and Pixar Animation Studios.
For registration, please go to:
