Thanks to everyone (and their kids) who came out to the picnic today! It went off without a hitch. The scavenger hunt was enjoyed by the kids (especially the bug catching), the small rocket demo got everyone’s attention, and we saw a lot of new faces.
We got to enjoy the warm weather and sun, since the hail on the south side of the city didn’t make it that far north, and we were wrapping up just as some dark clouds rolled in.
Pictures can be found on our facebook page.
Come out come out! On Friday, 16 December 2011 (yes, TODAY!), the Society of Edmonton Atheists is having a winter solstice party, downstairs in the basement of the German-Canadian Cultural Centre (8310 Roper Road (51 St): http://www.gcca.ca/)! The pub atmosphere is on at the German Club’s monthly Feierabend, starting at 8:00 pm!
If you want to have an excellent dinner first, call 780-466-4000 and make a reservation for the German Club Friday buffet dinner! Details here: http://www.gcca.ca/restaurant.htm
See you all there!
Here is the facebook invite.
WHEN: Friday, December 17, 2010 · 8:00pm – 12:00am LOCATION:German-Canadian Cultural Centre 8310 Roper Road NW, Edmonton AB Downstairs in the Alpine Cellar
Since we can’t all be at Stonehenge for the Winter Solstice this year, we will instead hold it 4 days earlier at the German-Canadian Cultural Centre at Roper Road (51 Ave), next to the CHED radio station! Once a month the German Club has a pub-atmosphere event downstairs in the Alpine Cellar, called the Feierabend (literally “party evening”) with music, karaoke, cash-bar, foos-ball, and NO cover charge! Because it’s a club facility children are also welcome. There will be Germans and others there too, but to quote host DJ Ole, “the more the merrier”. The event starts at 8:00 pm and goes until 12:30ish. So come on down!!

P.S. There will be a Winter Solstice symbol on the SEA table to assist in locating fellow heathens!
