Hello everyone,

This is the start of the Society of Edmonton Atheists’ sixth year, and I’m looking forward to it. We’ve come a long way in six years, and are at the point where media outlets and religious organizations are contacting us to gain a non-religious perspective on topics of interest to them.

If you have any questions, ideas for activities, or would like to volunteer, contact us, and we’ll get you involved.

We have some major events coming up. If you’re new to the SEA, or have never managed to make it to an event, I’d encourage you to make the effort to attend one.
Wednesday, May 1 @ 7pm – George Hrab: Where the heck is Edmonton?

Musician, podcaster, and skeptic, George Hrab will be performing in Edmonton. See the event announcement for more details and ticket information. Two tickets are available for the road trip to pick George up in Calgary.

Tuesday, May 7 @ 7pm – KikiPlanet: Turning Your Orbit Around

At May’s regular Round Table event, we will hear from Kathleen George Smith aka Kikki Planet, an Edmonton author/blogger/tweeter/columnist/mother of four. We are very happy to be able to introduce her to our growing circle and gain, and maybe share, some insights.

Saturday, June 8 @ 11am – Edmonton Pride Parade & Festival Continue reading »

George Hrab will be in Edmonton on May 1 for an evening of music and skepticism!

Buy your tickets here.

Tickets are $15 for SEA members, $17 for non-members, or $20 at the door.

There are also two tickets available at $75 each for the road trip to Calgary and back to pick George up. We’ll be leaving the morning of the show. Tickets include admission to the show.

Who is George Hrab, you ask?

Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, composer, and heliocentrist George Hrab has written and produced six independent CDs; published one book; recorded hundreds of episodes of an award winning podcast; and even performed for President Clinton— all in a personal quest to improve his audience’s cognitive skills by reaching them through their funny bones and dance shoes.

George has gained international notoriety by producing an award-winning weekly show called The Geologic Podcast which features humor, sketches, and skeptical/free-thinking commentary through various segments.

Tune in!

Book Club BannerThe Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan, Chapters 1 -12

On February 5, we sat down to discuss volunteering with the SEA. The summary of the meeting is below, but if you’re already interested, the list of things that people could be working on is here and the form to let us know what you’re interested in is here. We’ll get people interested in similar things together in groups and make sure that everyone feels like they have the knowledge and support to get going.

Currently, within the SEA, most of the events and activities are organized by members of the Board of Directors. The SEA is large enough at this point (66 paid members in 2012) that the Board would like to spend more of their time on the big picture, and see more of the activities organized by the general membership.

Just a reminder that our meeting on Tuesday is all about getting you more involved in the SEA! Come prepared with your ideas and enthusiasm.

If you can’t make it, please add your comments to the survey or the list of positions. We’ll be putting up more details after the meeting about how to get involved for those who couldn’t make it.

 

Book Club BannerThis month our book is The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. We will be discussing Chapters 6 – 10 for this event.
