May 1st -
This is a big holiday (Day of Prayer, Day of Reason, May Day,
International Workers day all collide on this day). We should
celebrate the reason that brought us the 40-hour work week and pray
that they don't get rid of the virgins dancing around the phallus in
the park. Then, to prep for Cinco De Mayo - in the evening we can
get drunk on Margaritas and shout "Viva the Revolution." - Just a
thought.
Memorial Day
- Atheists in Foxholes - join the community celebration and have a
BBQ to honor atheist veterans. Spotlight Colonel Ethan Allen.
June 21st
- World Humanist Day - Intro to Humanist classes?

in Democracy. Spotlight on Jefferson and Paine - Deists. Again, this

celebration.
