AOF Activities & Events
To Sunday, October 07, 2012
Do not go to the usual AOF meeting site in this month -- AOF won't be there! Instead we will join hands with the rest of the local freethought community for the Eleventh Annual Sacramento Freethought Day Festival.
What is Sacramento Freethought Day? A jubilee, a party, a salute to independent minds and rational thought, brought to you here each year by the Sacramento Coaltion of Reason (SCoR), of which AOF is a part. The traditional day is October 12. As usual, for the festival itself, we aim for the closest workable weekend.
The Freethought Day Festival combines the fun and festivity of a fair with the education and activism of a conference. It will feature speakers, entertainment, food, contests, family activities, vendors, exhibits, films, panels, workshops ... and more.
It will span three days, Friday to Sunday. Friday evening, a fundraiser reception kicks off the fun. Saturday speakers will include Mikey Weinstein (MRFF), student activist Jessica Ahlquist, Secular Coalition lobbyist Chris Lombardi, Michael Werner of AHA, Rebecca Hensler (founder of Grief Beyond Belief), God himself (Brian Keith Dalton), and others. Rounding up Sunday will be Leadership Workshops for those interested in advancing the freethought movement.
As always, admission to the main event on Saturday is free, though we encourage donations (those pesky expenses).
