Join us Monday, February 6, 2012

Monday, February 6, 2012 - 7 PM

SMUD Customer Service Center (NOT the Headquarters Conference Center)

6301 S St, Sacramento CA 

Please join us and take part in discussions about:

* The 2012 Elections.  Do we know at what point the promotion of religion and personal religious beliefs by the candidates, the media and many houses of worship crosses the line and makes a mockery of the First Amendment's Religion Clauses?  Do we care?  Can we do something about it with any or all of these entities? 

* Election and possible expansion of chapter officers in May: please consider taking on an active role.

* Religion in Public Schools: More chilling than you might suspect and we have an opportunity to hear from someone who has been investigating this for several years.  Details at the meeting about a potential program on this topic. 

* Additional items welcome.

The sign-in sheet will note which room we're meeting in. Free parking is available in the lot across the street.

Questions or items for the agenda?
