Dear Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry Aficionados,

We are asking for your help in supporting the 3rd ISMSC. The true cost per attendee is $700, meaning that for every full fare registration we are losing $150 and for every student registration we are falling a further $350 behind. While much of this gap is being made up through generous corporate donations, personal gifts from members of the community who care about this field and its future are solicited. They would help keep the meeting vibrant and, as importantly, be deeply appreciated by all concerned.

The 3rd ISMSC is being held under the aegis of The University of Texas at Austin. Accordingly, contributions made by individuals or corporations residing or headquartered in the United States are expected to be tax deductible, although consultation with your tax advisor is always recommended.

Although arrangements for payment by credit card are currently being made, the easiest way to contribute (and a sure way to make sure that there is a proper paper trail) is to send a check made out to: "The University of Texas" listing "Unrestricted Gift For International Macrocycle Symposium" in the memo section.  The check should be sent to either Prof. Sessler or Prof. Ansly at The Univ. of Texas (Dept. of Chem. & Biochem., 1 University Station-A5300, The University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712-0165 USA).  A formal receipt will be provided by The Univ. of Texas once your check is received. In case it is needed for your records, The Univ. of Texas Tax ID number is: 746000203.

Thanks for your consideration and support!
