Northwest Freethought Conference

It's that time of year again. That's right, time to register for the Northwest Freethought conference. This year we are pleased to bring Richard Dawkins as our keynote speaker. The Conference is being held at the Renton Technical College on March 30th, 31st and April 1st. We will also be joined by Sean Faircloth on Sunday with Richard. Some of the the other workshops will be Using Social Media, Creating and Maintaining Dynamic Organizations, and a visit with the local celebrities from Ask An Atheist. We are also recruiting volunteers for several key support positions. So if you are looking to have a great weekend, go to our webpage (http://www.nwfreethoughtalliance.org/) and register before we run out of spots.
