- NEW Zoom ID# : Game Night - No praying requiredLink visible for attendees
Code Names is the game of choice for the next few meetings.
We open at 6:30 so that newcomers can have time for a tutorial; the first game starts promptly at 7 pm.
It ends when the group agrees—typically around 9—there’s no definite end time. If you log-in late, you can always cheer the players on and still be able to play in the second game of the night.This is a virtual meeting but this doesn't mean the beer has to be virtual - so be sure to sip a nice ale (or whatever you enjoy) as you participate.
No prizes for winning but the honor of doing so can be overwhelming.

MALIBU CREEK STATE PARK DETAILS:
Malibu Creek State Park, located in Calabasas, CA within the Santa Monica Mountains, and former site of the 20th Century Fox movie ranch. Park features hiking, fishing, bird watching, mountain biking, rock climbing and horseback riding opportunities. The park is composed of Kaslow Nature Preserve, Liberty canyon Nature Preserve, Tapia Park, and Udell George Nature Preserve.
Fourteen-mile Malibu Creek is the principal watercourse of the Santa Monica Mountains that ends at Malibu Lagoon. . There are 15 miles of streamside trail through oak and sycamore woodlands on chaparral-covered slopes. Following the trail along Malibu Creek, the visitor will be treated to spectacular vistas, including volcanic rock gorges, scenic pools, and breathtaking views of the Las Virgenes Valley and Malibu Canyon.
Culturally, this area was the center of Chumash Native American life for centuries. One of the park's most significant points of interest is the Sepulveda Adobe, which was constructed in 1863 on what had been part of an early Spanish land grant. This historic structure was restored in 2003, but unfortunately was destroyed in the 2018 Woolsey fire. In the early 1900's another adobe was built along Malibu Creek by Johnny Mott, a famous LA attorney. With only the dramatic stone fireplace left standing, it is known today as the Mott Adobe ruins. Perhaps the most prominent frequent guest at the Mott Adobe was President Herbert Hoover.
Previous to being opened to the public in 1976, the park was used extensively to film numerous movies and TV shows, such as Planet of the Apes and M*A*S*H. Most of the park’s land holdings were acquired from 20th Century Fox, which purchased the former Crags Country Club for on-location film and television filming. The original Planet of the Apes movie and the beloved M*A*S*H TV show were among dozens or perhaps hundreds of productions filmed here continuing to this day.

(This Event is promoted in other groups and platforms and is open to all and since it is an online/virtual event via Zoom you can connect from anywhere in the world.)
We're on every 1st Monday on Zoom and 3rd Thursday of the month in person. Our calendar (including other events): https://www.meetup.com/sfv-atheists-united/events/calendar/
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑What we're about:
WELCOME to https://www.AtheistsUnited.org's meetup - one of many opportunities to engage in mindful discussions, lectures, book clubs, educational forums mostly online, and our In-Person-Volunteer events like the monthly food distribution in person.
Other Atheists United links are listed below.
We are an ethically centered community for greater Los Angeles atheists.
Our mission is to build thriving atheist communities, empower people to express their secular values, and promote the separation of government and religion.
🛑Meeting format: Online
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with (eating on camera is ok), and talk to other atheists, skeptics and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up as well and they are welcome as long as they are not there to proselytize.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees, and no proselytizing. Foremost, this is a social gathering, and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club.
If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑This is a 2 hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones.
Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.
🛑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.
Bring your unique point of view and add to the discussion.
