Preparatory meeting for "Peak-of-the-Month"
club. Start planning now to get in shape physically and with the
necessary mental preparation to climb the great mountain peaks of North
America, such as California's tallest, Mount Whitney. The Humanist
Fellowship of San Diego will organize expeditions to take place
beginning next year. There is a magical world up there awaiting your
exploration and it will be awesome to go with a Humanist group. This is
living life to the full and you won't want to miss it. First step is a
planning meeting to discuss these expeditions, talk about what it will
take, and to get to know the members of HFSD who will embark on this
memorable adventure. You will discover new things - not just about
nature, but also about yourself. Meet at Border's Books, 1972 Camino Del
Rio North, in the coffee shop.

What
is Secular Humanism? What are its objectives? What is its importance?
Why should one support it? Why are the comparatively small numbers of
the nonreligious actively involved in the secular humanist movement?
Dr. Ron Lindsay, CEO of the Center for Inquiry, Los Angeles, provides
an unsparing review of the state of secular humanism today and issues a
rousing call to arms. He demonstrates the critical significance of the
secular perspective, especially as it relates to public policy in this
video titled: Secular Humanism and Its Discontents.
