AOF General Meeting - October

This month do not go to the usual Sierra 2 meeting site - why?

Because we won't be there!  AOF plans no regular October meeting so we can focus on the Tenth Annual Sacramento Freethought Day Festival. 

Freethought Day is an annual jubilee, a salute to independent minds and rational thought, brought to you here by the Sacramento Coaltion of Reason (Sac-CoR), of which AOF is one part. The traditional day is October 12, but this year's celebration is on the 23rd to mark our survival of the predicted Apocalypse on October 21. At least we hope to be celebrating. If not, well, please wear shoes. Thick ones. 

Location : Pacific McGeorge School of Law, 3200 Fifth Avenue, Sacramento 

Contact : 916-447-3589 or email david (at) LodiUnited (dot) org The site is near the intersection of Hwy 99 and Hwy 50, across the street from McClatchy Park. It has free on-site parking, as well as free public parking on 33rd Street and 5th Avenue.
