Upcoming AOF events for you

[Ken Nahigian]

 

Freethinker Potluck Picnic in the Park

Sunday, September 28, 2025, 2pm - 4pm

Location:  Westwood Park, 8100 Butternut Drive, Citrus Hts.  Map at https://maps.app.goo.gl/fsTTxKCyphgnAtHo6. 

 

Hobnob with us at AOF's fifth annual potluck picnic. We keep going back, because the event is always a blast.

 

Please bring a picnicky dish to serve 6-8 people (picnicish, picnic-esque? someone help us here). And your own non-alcoholic beverages (because alcohol is a no-no in this park).  BYO cushion too if you like -- picnic benches can be hard, and splinters lurk.

 

AOF will provide plates, cups, utensils, napkins, and cool clear water. The picnic tables are in the sweet sweet shade under a gazebo, and the restrooms are clean (we checked).

 

We will enjoy the beautiful afternoon, chat about things freethoughty or otherwise, and solve all the world's problems. Feel free to invite family and friends, we're all chill about that.

 

General Directions: From I-80 take exit 100 for Antelope Road. Go west on Antelope Road for 0.3 miles. Turn right onto Lichen Drive. At the second stop sign continue straight onto Butternut Drive. To find the picnic area, then turn right onto Treeleaf Way. See the gazebo on the right -- the one with crepe paper? Yet, that's it.

Davis Community Meal - Feed the Hungry 

Tuesday, September 30, 2025, 4pm - 7pm

Location:  St. Martin's Episcopal Church hall, 640 Hawthorne Lane, Davis, CA.  Map at http://binged.it/1uBpi57.

 

The Davis Community Meal project serves meals to the hungry, the poor, the indigent, the outcast. It happens in bucolic Davis city, so near to us, where compassionate citizens have developed a secular solution for the problem of hunger, and need our help.

 

So join us in this effort. Your reward will be an opportunity to meet new minds and hobnob with your freethought friends, a likely free meal, jazzy music, and the Rosy hearts-glow of benevolence. Also, seriously, it's a blast!

 

Cooking? Dish washing? Pshaw, none required. The Davis Community Meals team will perform all the food prep and kitchen work. Our job is simply to set up chairs & tables, serve, smile, put things away at the end, and clean a bit (with a minimum of mopping). Extra points if you can arrive for setup, but if you can't, that's OK, any help is good help. Setup begins about 4:30 p.m., food service at about 5:45. At 6:30 we clean up, leaving the hall as we found it.

 

For details, please see Davis Community Meals. For a map to the site, see: Martin's Episcopal Church. (Yes, a church hall, so what?)
