World Game, Buckminster Fuller Centennial Symposium and Celebration Co-Sponsors

Dear GENI Friend,

As a key supporter of our work, I am very excited both to inform and invite you to join us in San Diego this summer. In honor of Buckminster Fuller, GENI is co-sponsoring a Centennial Symposium and Celebration on July 14-16th.

Without the vision and genius of Bucky, the GENI project would not exist. Our work was born from the World Game and its purpose statement, how do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time without ecological damage or the disadvantage to anyone? From reading Critical Path (page 206), you'll see where Bucky called the global energy grid the World Game's highest priority objective. From these few words, GENI was born ten years ago.

Few people are ever awarded the designation of genius. Yet Bucky said we are all born a genius — we just got damaged along the way. This event is dedicated to helping Rediscover the GENIus in us all.

You'll get to play the World Game, view films about Bucky's life and work, attend expert panels on geodesic structures, study the generalized principals of universe as applied to business, and enjoy a Children's Festival of ideas shaping tomorrow's leaders.

GENI is fortunate to have co-sponsorship with some of San Diego's finest institutions: San Diego Natural History Museum, National University, Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater, Union Bank, Shapery Enterprises and Windstar (Colorado).

Your contribution to GENI has enabled us to tell our story to the world. Review the enclosed event announcement and consider bringing the whole family. Please share it with your friends and colleagues. I hope you can join us in this tribute to the Leonardo daVinci of our time — and to explore the question for yourself:

If the success or failure of this planet, and of human beings, depended on how I am and what I do; How would I be? What would I do?
