NVC Meetings
WASH-NVC Meetings are normally held on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 2:00pm.
We do not meet in August or September.
Upcoming:
Saturday, May 24, 2008, 1:30pm. We'll hear from R.J. DeSmedt, the Grassroots Coordinator for the American Humanist Association. RJ will give us an inside look at what's new in the world of AHA, especially with regard to local groups like ours. He is also a native of Belgium, and will discuss some aspects of the European view of Secular Humanism.
Sunday, June 22, 2008, 2pm. Our speaker in June will be Lauri Lebo, author of a new book called The Devil in Dover. Lauri is a reporter who covered the recent creationism trial in Dover, PA, and will give us a unique local perspective on that important event.
