The Atheist Community of San Jose invites fellow secular thinkers for a warm, friendly holiday gathering—great for you to make new friends, share ideas for the year ahead, and build community.

Details
Save the date! Wednesday evening December 17, 2025, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.

China Stix Restaurant, located in Santa Clara Town Center Shopping Mall, 2110 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA, 95050; restaurant phone: 408-244-1684.

Price per person: $20, or $25 to help us with cost inflation. When you come to the event, bring cash or a check made out to the Atheist Community of San Jose. (An ATM is available there.)

Please sign up soon so that we can give the restaurant a good estimate of the number of people to expect. We need to be sure to have the correct number of banquet tables.

Come join your fellow Atheists to get reacquainted with old friends and to meet newcomers to our Atheist Community. Have some fun with like-minded clear-headed individuals as we wrap up 2025! Consider bringing along a new partner or friend or date or relative or someone else who wants a glimpse of our secular community. The nonreligious portion of the U.S. population is ever-increasing; come celebrate being part of the wave of the future!

Let us use this opportunity to share ideas about what the Atheist Community of San Jose should be and do during this coming important year of 2026. We value your input and your participation in planning and carrying out new activities as well as our traditional ACSJ events.
Also please consider bringing your checkbook or cash (not credit or debit card) to make a tax-deductible contribution to the ongoing work of ACSJ in this next year. Because ACSJ does not have a membership fee, the organization depends on your generosity to continue having our exciting events. Any contributions to the Atheist Community are much appreciated.

Each year the Atheist Community comes together at the China Stix Restaurant in Santa Clara for our varied holiday banquet gathering. The company is delightful at your banquet table, and the food is superb, featuring many of your favorite Chinese dishes. If you have allergies or special food limitations (such as vegan or vegetarian or gluten-free), the China Stix will always accommodate your needs. Just let us know here on Meetup well ahead of time, so we can tell Judy.

Given that Covid and the flu and colds are ever with us, please be extra careful to avoid contracting some contagious disease. If you feel ill just before the banquet, please cancel your participation in consideration of your fellow Atheists.

We look forward to seeing you for our joyous holiday celebration!
Please don’t forget to bring along your $20 (or $25) per person in the form of cash or a check. See you there!
