Meeting on October 16 at the Buck Institute for Age Research

Lowell Smith has arranged for us to have a tour of the Buck Institute for Age Research for our next chapter meeting on Thursday, Oct. 16. The tour will begin at 10:25 a.m. sharp.

A short meeting will be held afterward, in one of their meeting rooms, to discuss chapter matters, including the budget.

The building was designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei. He has designed an inspirational space that is said to “foster creative interaction among scientists and harmonizes with the serene Marin County landscape.” More info. about the Institute is available at www.buckinstitute.org/site/
