Our Lecture Series is funded by the generous donations of our members to the Unit 503 Restricted Fund. The Unit 503 Restricted Fund is administered by the ACBL Educational Foundation and donations to it are tax deductible. For information on how you can donate to this fund please go here.

Many have asked about the cost of the Lecture Series. The 2008 - 2009 total was $5,600.00 which was made possible by the tax deductible donations by unit members and friends to the ACBL Educational Foundation which provides funds for Unit 503 programs such as this. We hope you will consider a donation. Details can be found here or by contacting alan.cummings@stanford.edu. Donations will be collected and sent to the Foundation at the end of August.
