Time to Renew Your Membership:
Membership renewal notices went out in early June for the 2006-07
membership year. We are keeping dues the same—$90 for dual membership
and $50 for single membership. We have a great year of programs already
planned.
The fall program
series, “Let Your Life Speak: Finding Your True Path,” will feature
presentations about the search for meaning in our lives and work. Our
spring ’07 series will be on the timely topic of privacy vs. security
and convenience.
We hope you will
want to join us for both of these important series by renewing your
membership for the coming year (2006/2007) that begins in July.
If you
are not a member of the Institute and would like to join and be eligible
for the year’s programs, we would welcome you! Please fill out this
membership application. Then send it and a check to the Institute
at P.O. Box 527, Salado, TX, 76571. We will mail you registration
information and a brochure for the fall series in August.

Update on Institute
Activities:
Living Room Theatre Benefit for Institute: The Institute was the
beneficiary of a special fundraiser, compliments of the Salado Living
Room Theatre. That event at TenRock featured members of the Living Room
Theatre performing a murder mystery during a specially catered lunch.
The proceeds from that special performance were given to the Institute.
We are most appreciative! Thanks, Ramon!!
Wilmer Memorial Lecture Created: The first, annual Wilmer
Memorial Lecture was held June 4, of this year, with
philanthropist/businesswoman Marilyn Tam presenting the lecture. The
Harry Wilmer Lectureship, formerly held in January, was combined with
the Hank Wilmer Memorial Lecture, to create the Wilmer Memorial
Lectureship to honor both Harry and Hank Wilmer. It was free and open to
the public.
Tam is the founder of the Us Foundation whose purpose is to raise the
awareness of and to promote and create action to support the highest
common good, and the interconnectedness of all. The Us Foundation serves
as a network and consultant for people, organizations and businesses
that are aligned with this mission, so they can unite their energies to
further the transformation to a mutually responsible and cooperative
global society.
