Join Discussion About Freethinkers Future Goals and Events

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE FREETHINKERS?

Where are the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs headed? How do we attract new members—especially younger voices? What programs, speakers, and events should we be offering? How do we best defend the separation of church and state? Should we also take on social justice and political issues—or are members mainly looking for fellowship and community at our monthly potlucks?

These are the big questions your Freethinkers Board has been wrestling with—and we need YOUR voice in the conversation!

Join us for an open discussion at The Chinook Center. Your ideas will help shape the future of our group and keep the Freethinkers strong, relevant, and growing.

This is your chance to be heard. Don’t miss it.

WHAT SHOULD THE FREETHINKERS BE DOING?

Where are the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs headed? How are we going to grow our membership, especially with younger members? What kind of programs and discussions should we offer our members and the community? How can we best advocate for separation of church and state? Should we also advocate for social justice and political issues? Or… are members just looking for a social outlet and fellowship with monthly potlucks?

These are just some of the questions the Freethinkers Board has been grappling with, and we need your help!

We are going to hold an open discussion at The Chinook Center to discuss these questions. We urge you to attend. We NEED your input to ensure we are doing what is best to keep the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs a vibrant and effective group, today and in the future. PLEASE ATTEND!

Hello Freethinkers, Join us for a special evening of reflection and future planning. We will look back at some of our greatest moments and discuss how we can build an even stronger, more relevant group for the next two decades. This is your chance to share your voice and shape our future. Remember the best "plums" from our history: • A particular ballot issue? • The Obama election? • The debate victory by atheist Michael Newdow at Focus on the Family? • When the city council removed religious material at Becky's request? • When millions of people benefited from expanded healthcare? What's a "plum" that stands out for you? We want to hear your favorite memory! What's Next for the Freethinkers? Your Freethinkers Board is wrestling with some big questions, and we need your input on topics such as: • How do we attract new members, especially younger voices? • What programs, speakers, and events should we offer? • How can we best defend the separation of church and state? • Should we expand our focus to include social justice and political issues, or remain centered on fellowship and community at our monthly potlucks? Member dues discussion: There has been some discussion about creating a member dues system to fund future endeavors. We will discuss this idea during the event. Event Details When: Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM • Where: The Chinook Center, 2551 Airport Rd, Suite 107 We enjoyed this venue for a recent potluck and are excited to use it for this event.
