New Venue Evaluated  

The General Meeting was held at an artist’s studio (7600 Melrose) and more than 40 people attended our 36^th anniversary celebration   After the business session, leading the activities was Christine Jones who actually got the entire group together to play an atheist  game --ON THEIR PHONES!  Knowledge plus speed in answering 8 questions was the key to success.  Marco Silva , who was way behind for the first half of the game, suddenly popped to first place on question #6 and held his own with Q #7.  Then, oh no, the last question.  Our President, Bill Housman, under an alias, squeezed Marco out in the last few seconds to win the game.  Of course, as atheists, we all win. Right?  And will this venue win support?  Your comments appreciated.  Send them to [email protected]
