8th Annual Winter Solstice/HumanLight Celebration and FoodShare Fundraiser

Join us for our 8th Annual Winter Solstice/HumanLight Zopen House!

This year we would like you to bring a virtual gift to share with everyone. Please come prepared to share something uplifting with the group that is helping you cope or keeping you sane during the pandemic. We’d like each guest to take a minute or two to share and describe their recommendation. Some ideas include: books, poetry, music, recipes, favorite cocktails, hobbies, movies/documentaries, streaming series to binge-watch, stupid pet tricks, etc...please feel free to be creative. You are also welcome to sing a song, read a piece of poetry, share a short video, etc. with the group during the event. If you have videos or photos to share, please email them to elisannemccann@gmail.com by December 18th.

Our goal is to collect all of the ideas in a document that we will send to everyone after the event to help get them through the rest of the pandemic and long winter.

As many of you know, we’ve also held a food drive at our annual celebrations. This year is no different…well slightly different. For those of you who have the means, we are asking you to donate to our virtual food drive at FoodShare. Simply click on this link (http://www.foodshare.org/hahsolstice) to make your donation before you RSVP on meetup or at any time during the month of December.

We also encourage participants to dress in festive attire and decorate your Zoom environment. See comments below if you are interested in recipe for the Signature Solstice Cocktail that Pat and I will be drinking that night.

Our Zoom Open House will run from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Join us for the entire event or drop in for as long as you like whenever you want.

About HumanLight:
In many cultures, late December is a season of good cheer and a time for festive gatherings of friends and families. As part of this holiday season, HumanLight is a jovial holiday that is entirely secular – not based on any supernatural religious beliefs or theistic concepts. The HumanLight holiday offers an alternative reason to celebrate during the December holiday season by illuminating Humanism’s positive secular vision of reason, compassion, hope, and humanity.

Come celebrate and promote a positive vision of a better future — a future in which all people can identify with each other and try to behave with high moral standards — a future which people can build by working together for a happy, just, and peaceful world.
