Minnesota Atheists Meetup Group

Join us in our Spring Trash Pickup where we pick up trash along the stretch of highway that Minnesota Atheists has adopted! We will meet in the Carbone's Pizza Bar & Grill Parking Lot. I'll be there in my black Chevy Volt. Come get your trash bags and reflective vest.

Dress for outside weather conditions with sturdy shoes and work gloves. We will supply the reflective vest and and trash bags. If rain looks imminent, we will postpone it to Saturday, April 25th and it will be announced on this event page the day before.

We will start from Carbone's, walk the mile stretch picking up trash and then double back to arrive back at Carbone's. It totals an easy two mile walk. The whole stretch has a sidewalk or paved trail.

When done, you may drop your vests off at my car and continue about your day. Or join us for lunch at Carbone's.

This segment is a very doable two mile stretch with easy terrain and doesn't collect a terrible amount of trash. It goes from Highview Ave on the west to Foliage Ave on the east. Here’s a map of the stretch: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kw0Zls98xv-Vc9wM5g-s-YG_Q2U-rx_i&usp=sharing

Some of our brainiac members are interested in testing their recall of all things trivia - gasp! - with other people present at Venn Brewery in SE Minneapolis. Looks like they have lots of tasty sounding beers there. For food, there is a food truck scheduled but the taproom allows you to bring your own food if you'd like to do that instead.

Trivia starts at 6:00 PM. You may find people arrive around 5:30 to socialize and hopefully find a table. If you are new, look at some profiles of RSVP'ers on Meetup to help you find the group. (Mike won't be attending often so try a few other names)

!!! Parking is limited in this neighborhood. There are signs posted noting only two hour parking before 8:00PM so be careful. Arriving early may help in finding a spot but that may require you moving your car - don't get towed!. The picture (Venn diagram?) shows a cul-de-sac on E 45th St, just north of Venn, where there may be extra space but with the same 2 hr restrictions. It is a great time to check out the Blue Line with a light rail station just a parking lot away from the Venn.

This is a repeating event. You can just show up but an RSVP here would be appreciated just to help attendees connect. Have fun with whomever shows up. Winning is an added perk! Our historic Trivia group name is "No Dissonance, you have to back it up" - using it isn't a requirement but "Why not!".

Please follow CDC guidance. Currently, masks expected when not at your table, but things change too.

The group of people attending each week can/will change. There is no official host so have fun with whomever becomes your teammates that week.

Venn's promo:
Venn Brewing Company invites you to come out and play. Venn brews fantastic batches of beer, and once those batches are empty, that’s it. Each beer is a new, flavorful experiment. The taproom is literally a few steps away from the METRO Blue Line’s 46th Street Station, and rotating food trucks will do your belly right.
