Seyn tells us that it is undeniable that most members of our species do far more for our children than any other species, at least in terms of how much time is spend for their raising and further support in life. Sadly, for our times, it is also undeniable that our species is the number one culprit that is busy "fouling" our planet for countless living organisms, certainly including our children and future generations. Our speaker would like to invite all interested parties to come up with ideas to make sure that a) we do even more for our children and b) we cause far less harm to our children and our environment. In the form of proposals, Mr. Laproyen will offer an uncompromisingly global outlook on this subject.

Seyn Laproyen was born and raised in Ankara, Turkey, and has also lived in Istanbul. He learned English in his teenage years and has an interest in philosophy that dates back to his high school years. He traveled to Western Europe in the summer of 1983, visiting Paris and London, and came to the U.S. in the summer of 1988. His interest in children's rights form an indispensable part of his political outlook and he has chosen to remain child-free and has never regretted that decision.

Please note that because this meeting is being held in a restaurant, food and adult beverage of your choice will be available for purchase. To allow our speaker to be uninterrupted, let's do food service early, say until 7:15 or so. Because we must vacate the room at 9:00 PM, we can always eat later, downstairs. Some of us will always stay late. We can't stop sharing our Humanist Philosophy. Hoping to see you at the meeting!

Admission to this event is free, but annual HSMNY chapter membership ($25.00 singles / $35.00 couples) is encouraged.
