Free event. Everyone welcome!
Celebrated annually on the first Thursday in May, the National Day of Reason is an annual holiday for humanists, atheists and secularists. The celebration was created by the American Humanist Association and the Washington Area Secular Humanists in 2003.
Who? This is a public neighborhood event open to everybody! People of all faiths, or none at all, are welcome at the event.
Will there be any sort of activity aside from eating and talking to neighbors? We plan to have an opportunity for people to introduce themselves. Plus there will be a themed trivia challenge with people competing as teams. But mainly it's a potluck dinner.
Is this event intended to promote atheism? No. The purpose of this event is to bring people of all backgrounds together, not to convert anybody to any particular position.
Who is planning this event? A number of the neighborhood group's leading members and event planners are organizing this event, including individuals who are strong atheists as well as non-atheist friends.
What to Bring: Guests may bring any type of food. Enough to feed about 8 to 10 people. Bring a main dish, salad, side dish, homemade bread, etc. (We already have enough desserts.) Hosts will provide drinks, plates, utensils, etc.
