George Hrab Found Edmonton!

May 102013

”Geologic”, as it’s known, touched down in Edmonton on May 1st,  hosted by the Society of Edmonton Atheists.   Plenty of laughter resounded while George entertained us with songs like ‘‘When I was Your Age”  and ‘‘Everything Will Die Someday”, and skits about alien visits and crop circles.   The event, which was held at Expressionz Cafe, was an wonderfully intimate affair, allowing attendees the chance to mingle with George Hrab and have their cd’s signed.    A small house after party allowed even more discussion and antics.         What fun!

If you missed the show, you can still get a cd or upload directly to your Itunes via the CDbaby site.   And don’t forget to check out George’s podcast which happens every Thursday.

Thanks so much for making the night entertaining George, it was an amazing show, we hope to enjoy your company in the near future!

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 »

Thanks everyone who came out to the museum yesterday. Most folks had a good time. Some of us more than others. I turned custody of my camera over to the young Masters Craig, Kaelan, and Logan. I’ll post the pics when I get a mo.

Volunteer Meeting

Feb 092013

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.

Annual General Meeting Approaching

Jan 232013

The SEA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) is on Tuesday,  April 2, 2013, starting our 6th year as a society. Now’s a good time to start thinking about some AGM related things:

  • In order to vote for any motions or Board of Directors candidates, or run for the Board, you must be a paid member of the Society. You can get a membership online, or from a Board member at our Roundtable or Brunch events, or any other time you see a Board member before the start of the AGM.
  • All Board positions are up for election: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and four Directors. You can nominate yourself or someone else at the AGM, but you can start talking to people about votes before then if you wish.
  • If you are a member, but will not be able to attend, you can assign your proxy to another member to vote on motions (not including by-law changes and elections). You must give the current Secretary 48 hours notice (contact us).
  • If you have any motions or resolutions you’d like discussed, or would like something specific on the agenda, please give us as much notice as you can, but minimum 48 hours (contact us).
