Breakfast with Dale McGowan

This location is shown only to members

Hey everyone! I'm very excited to announce that in lieu of our normal monthly dinner we will be hosting a breakfast with Dale McGowan. He will be in LA for the weekend and I thought it would be great for us to get a chance to visit with him.

We have recently joined forces with him and Foundation Beyond Belief in a new effort to expand the awareness and volunteer experience of non-religious groups. I have been thrilled for the opportunity to add a new element to our meetup and work with the Volunteers Beyond Belief to volunteer around Los Angeles with our children. (You may have noticed our new upcoming meetup with TreePeople in Sylmar Park, if not, please check it out!)

Dale is also well versed in topics regarding parenting freethinking children regarding ethics and morals, which is something that often comes up at our dinners as a major concern of the parents in our group.

I'm looking forward to meeting Mr. McGowan and hope you will join us all for a potluck breakfast at the home of Bobbie Kirkhart.

    Very cool! Is this a family event or grown-ups only?

    Same question - can I bring my toddler? She loves breakfast. :-)

    Hey guys, it is a family event. But be warned that Bobbie's house is a 2 story house with a lot of space. I'm working on getting someone to come and hang with the kids downstairs in the play room, but haven't gotten a confirmation yet. I will post the confirmation when I hear back from her.

    Friendly bunch. Very glad to have someone look after the kids for a while. Discussion with Dale was great.

    I really enjoyed getting to meet and listen to Dale and the informal question-and-answer session was great.

    It was a nice little get together with an author that has inspired just about every single member of our group.

    Dale's sharp mind and simple yet brilliant approach to raising free thinking kids, coupled with his hands on experience with bringing up 3 kids, made for a very interesting meeting. The breakfast was delicious and the kids enjoyed playing together on the bottom floor of the amazing 19th century LA house.
