It's been a lonnnnng Summer. The Hiatus for the Humanist Society of Metropolitan New York is about to end! Sorry for the abrupt notice, but we just received the good word that we will have the use of this great space in which to resume our quite popular and well-attended "Humanist Roundtable Discussions." We are invited to hold one meeting each month, starting with a small room, but, it's predicted that we will gain momentum and need a larger room as a result of the expressed interest.
This first planned meeting can be whatever you wish for it to be. We're convinced that Humanists would much rather be their own speakers, so if you agree, please bring your own topics for discussion. What would you think of so timely a topic as formulating a Humanist priority list for action during the new Barack Obama Presidency? That should make for a rousing discussion! You may have suggestions for future meetings and subsequent topics for exploration, and even ideas for inviting other speakers that you know will be of interest to the Group.
We welcome your interest and your input. Hope to see you there!
