Welcome to the Humanist Community in Silicon Valley!

Come and check out the Humanist Community in Silicon Valley! Our website is www.humanists.org.

Our main event each week is a Sunday Forum which features a different speaker each Sunday discussing some topic of interest. A wide variety of topics are covered from week to week. To see our upcoming scheduled Forums and our past Forums, go to the www.humanists.org website and click on the "Sunday Forums" link. You can also check out our upcoming and recent past Forums by looking at this Meetup group's calendar.

The most recent "official" description of "Humanism" can be found at:

http://www.americanhumanist.org/who_we_are/about_humanism...

from the American Humanist Association's website. (The Humanist Community in Silicon Valley is a member chapter of the American Humanist Association.) A very simple description of Humanism is a desire to, without supernaturalism, enhance compassion, fairness, happiness, rationality, and science throughout the world.

The Forum is held every Sunday at the Mitchell Park Community Center (3800 Middlefield Road, between Charleston and Meadow) in Palo Alto from 11 a.m. until noon. A wonderful buffet lunch is served immediately after the Forum from noon until 1 p.m. The lunch is free for first time visitors. Otherwise we ask for a $7 to $10 donation. If you can't afford that, please give what you can, and please join us for lunch.

Note: Approximately 50 to 60 people have been recently attending the Forum each Sunday. Most of them probably don't even know that we're now listing our meetings on Meetup.com. So the number of Meetup RSVPs for our events are normally extremely low. But don't let that fool you! As was mentioned, there are normally approximately 50 to 60 people in attendance for each Forum, no matter how many Meetup RSVPs there are for a given Meetup event.

We hope to see you at an upcoming Humanist Community in Silicon Valley Sunday Forum soon! And feel free to find out about our other Humanist Community events and activities by going to www.humanists.org/calendar.htm. Also, feel free to e-mail me (by clicking on "email me" under my picture to the left) if you have any questions about the group. Thanks.
