AOF Birthday Picnic                                                                                                              Hits : 1150
Sunday, July 10, 2011, 01:30pm - 04:00pm
Location :  McKinley Park Area 3, close to 33rd Street

Pic-a-nicEighteen years ago, in June 1993, Atheists and Other Freethinkers of Sacramento was born. It was not an immaculate conception, we did not spring full-formed from the brow of Zeus, and we did not even call it "Atheists and Other Freethinkers" until much later. But it was very much a special creation. Now the Board of Directors will mark this milestone with a picnic in place of our regular July meeting; and the entire Sac-area Communiy of Reason is invited. Yes, even you!

So do not go to the Sierra 2 Community Center on this day. Instead go to the ever popular McKinley Park at McKinley and Alhambra Blvds. The Birthday Picnic will be in Area 3, on the 33rd Street side of the park.  For a map, click here.
 
AOF will furnish hamburgers, hot dogs, and vegi-burgers & vegi-dogs too, buns, condiments, some beverages, paper plates and napkins and such. But if you have your own favorite soft drink please bring it (but this is a dry park, please, no liquor/wine/beer). This is partially a potluck, so please also bring appetizers, side dishes, potato/macaroni salads, etc., or deserts to share. Want to help with setup? Great! Arrive a half hour early for that.
 
AOF will have ten picnic tables, but some might be more comfortable if they brought their own chairs.
 
Over the years AOF has engaged in many different projects, and we will take some time to reminisce about them, maybe revive some of them.
 
So please come and celebrate this milestone, 18 years of freethought, wow, and enjoy the company of some bright and skeptical minds.
