February Lecture Series

The Foundation has been offering a lecture series each February since 2006.  These programs are held each Sunday in February, from 3 to 5 p.m.  The lectures take place in the dining room of the main house and are followed by a light reception.  These lectures have been well attended in the past and have become very popular annual events.

The past February lectures are available as Podcasts through a website hosted by Georgia College.  The Foundation is most grateful to Georgia College for recording the lectures and making them available to the public.  Programs are available now (click here), but you must have iTunes loaded on your computer to access the programs.  iTunes is a free application for both Windows and Apple computers.  It can be downloaded at any time from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
