The biggest news to report is that we are now the THIRD campus in the country to affiliate with Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. This affiliation will allow for greater access to resources and contacts, as well as giving members a chance to participate in grassroots efforts. Our constitution has also been updated to reflect this change. Our next meeting is not this Tuesday, but the Tuesday after (September 24). We will need to begin preparing for speaker 2-- Massimo Pigliucci. I will have the meeting room and time by this week.
