New Jersey Humanist Families Network

Meet other local Humanist families who believe in the basic goodness of the human spirit without supernaturalism and want to raise their children to value and feel comfortable with such beliefs. Meetings include children's activities, an outdoor activity (weather permitting), some organized adult discussion (with children playing supervised nearby), and lots of informal chatting opportunities with like-minded families. We are developing a group lending library of books for children and parents raising children in a Humanist family. For more information contact Tamara at families@njhn.org Sponsored by the New Jersey Humanist Network. http://www.njhn.org

Great to get together! The museum format makes it a bit hard to feel a community with our group, but the meal afterwards helped with that!

"Jackie - Glad we will still see you and your gang for the hike. Thanks for the tip about Chimney Rock. We'll have that in line as a back-up if the crowd is too big for Casa Maya."
