    Our weekly Socials are held on Sunday at 1 pm Atlanta time (check the time for you here).

    We are using the Zoom Meeting platform here (not Zoom Webinar as we do for our monthly CoM presentations on the 21st). So for these Sundays socials we will all be able to see each other.

    Upcoming Sessions:.

    Sun 19 May – Dana Richards will present on “Martin and Sherlock”

    We welcome theme suggestions for the G4G Weekend Socials. Would YOU like to lead such a social, perhaps with a fresh look at a favorite Martin Gardner column (or book)? A magic effect you invented? A miscellaneous theme? Please contact us.

  • G4G Tributes

    It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Jim Simons on May 10, 2024, mathematician and philanthropist. The Simons Foundation has been a long-time supporter of the Gathering 4 Gardner Foundation’s mission and events. We are deeply grateful to Jim, and we honor his brilliance and generosity

    We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes. To share your memories or anecdotes, please email us, support@g4gfoundation.org
