I received this from Niko last week, and wanted to wait to post it until we were done with Villa Park stuff. Good work!

For the past 13 months I've been invited to attend the Laguna Beach Interfaith Council meetings representing the non-church affiliated in Laguna Beach. At today’s meeting, by some coincidence, the South County Outreach Program was on the meeting agenda with Thomas Whaling and Megan Smith making presentations. When the subject of food collection came up, I interjected that just last week about 40 atheists collected 200 pounds of non-perishable food and considerable money for South County Outreach. Megan verified that Orange County Atheists were very generous to SCO. In closing I mentioned that even though we (atheists) may not go to church, we can still be generous and giving. I think, as they say in my native Nu Yawk, we done good today (at least with the Laguna Beach faithful).

It was brought up at the April meeting that we should coordinate to fight the Bakersfield lady who is pushing all the city council's to put the nation's slogan up at all the city halls. Click "Continue reading..." to see how you can help and discuss planning and strategy.
