We just got back from the meeting. We had a nice time eating and talking.

Details:

We took care of a bit of business as we ate good food and talked about lots of different topics.

  • Brent has no news about David Mills and his possible talk later this year.
  • No more news on the Billboard project, but there is a side project in progress
  • Neece has designed a flyer and Brent has volunteered to post them around Morgantown. Can anyone print some up and post them in Morgantown and Fairmont? Just email Neece or Brent for the flyer file, as well as to coordinate with Brent about possible locations. :)
  • Neece is working on a Forum for us here at MorgantownAtheists.com. It’s already up but not configured fully yet. More details to come in the next few days.
  • Gerald is working on the Fairmont Library donation project. He’s going to contact them to see about their donation policy.
  • Brent wants to add a section to the site called “How Do We Know That?” – Neece will set that up in a day or two at the latest.
  • We all talked about some ideas for articles for the site. Coming soon!
  • We didn’t vote on the Mission Statement. Neece will set up a poll for that later this week.

It was enjoyable to hang out at a restaurant, eat and socialize with everyone. We hope to see in 2 weeks at the Book Club meeting, and in 4 weeks for another regular meeting! :D
