Camp Quest Texas

Forwarded announcement:

The North Texas Church of Freethought is proud to be sponsoring Camp Quest Texas! For those of you that haven't yet heard of it, Camp Quest is a secular summer camp for the children of atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers. Founded 15 years ago in Ohio, Camp Quest provides a much-needed rational alternative to the many camps that seek to promote a faith-based and superstitious agenda.

Camp Quest Texas will kick-off with a Day Camp event to be held Sunday, August 30th at Kevin and Cathy Smith's farm in Princeton, Texas. The Camp will take place from 9AM until 5PM, and children from ages 5 to 13 are welcome to participate. We'll be learning about different animals, making pottery, and having lots of great fun!

Please contact Camp Director Amie Parsons today to reserve a spot for your child in this inaugural Day Camp event! You don't want them to miss out on this chance to become a part of Texas history!

Email: camp@churchoffreethought.org
Phone: (Amie Parsons) 214-503-7384
Deadline: August 15th

Brights Family Meetup

A new meetup group has been started for Bright families. The group will emphasize get-togethers and outings with children.
http://www.meetup.com/DallasBrights/

The meetup list has also been updated to include a few new ones:

Coalition of Reason

The Dallas - Fort Worth Coalition of Reason is a new group. They are planning to sponsor billboards in the area that read "Don't Believe in God? You are not alone." I have added them to our list of organizations in the sidebar.

Another new group is the Dallas Atheists Book Club. They are discussing The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins at their April meeting.

The North Texas Atheists mailing list is now moderated again. No more spam.
