Humanist Hikers of Southern California

Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/93640958377?pwd=QSt4SEZJbHR2dWJYR2RvUmNkQlg5Zz09 WELCOME to AtheistsUnited.org's meetup - one of many opportunities to engage in mindful discussions, lectures, book clubs, educational forums mostly online, and our Volunteer events like the monthly food distribution in person. Links to other meetups are listed below. For our August meetup we strongly considered to host an in-person and on-line meeting. One of our members even invited a few of us into her backyard. From experience we realized that the quality of connecting the real and virtual world wouldn’t be satisfactory. For example, because of physical distancing the microphone would need to be so sensitive/powerful that it would pick up environmental background noises like birds, trees, cars etc. In addition, the delay caused by various internet speeds could lead to unwanted frustrations. If you know how to make a “hybrid” meeting happen, please drop us a line. So this month again we’ll be on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/93640958377?pwd=QSt4SEZJbHR2dWJYR2RvUmNkQlg5Zz09 Meeting ID:[masked] Password: 666 Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.

Our parent organization who pays for this Meetup is hosting a volunteer food distribution program in response to COVID-19. If you're looking for a way to give back this is a worthy volunteer opportunity worth checking out. If you can't attend but would like to support financially please donate here: https://www.atheistsunited.org/donate-now _______ Atheist United is organizing a food distribution outside our offices in partnership with the LA Food Bank in response to the COVID-19 emergency. We need volunteers to help us assemble and organize food packages from 2pm-5pm. From 5pm - 6:30pm volunteers will help hand food out directly to those in need in the neighborhood. Then from 6:30pm - 7pm we'll clean up. Come be part of our monthly distributions in Los Angeles and help us continue to make a local impact! This is our largest volunteer program in 2020. Music and snacks will make it well worth your time. As atheists, we know this is our one life and nothing feels better than to help our fellow humans live a little easier. Join us! -------------------------- **Snacks will be provided and shade from the sun. **Safety: COVID-19 is very dangerous and we prioritize the safety of our volunteers and food recipients. Masks are REQUIRED and must be worn at ALL times! We will also be practicing social distancing when possible and encouraging constant hand washing. Gloves are recommended and maybe be available, but not required. If you do not follow our strict COVID policies you will be asked to leave immediately. **Parking: Free parking in our parking lot off Rampart Blvd (see location map below) **Dress Code: Safety requirements include: no open-toe/open-heel shoes or high heels. We recommend casual attire (jeans, t-shirt, light sweater, & tennis shoes, shorts) Note: It will be a sunny day, so dress as needed and wear sunscreen if needed. -------------------------- Any questions, please contact Tom (host) via Meetup or email Evan at [masked]
