On October 4th, Fred Edwords from United Coalition of Reason came to Morgantown to talk to us about the media and PR.
Fred Edwords is a public speaker well known to humanists, freethinkers, and religious liberals, and a specialist in media and PR areas. He is the head of UnitedCoR.
The seminar was 4 hours and was both informative and extremely helpful to our organization as we grow and move forward. It will also be helpful to us as individuals in our chosen fields.
Brent and I took a lot of notes, and Fred gave us several useful handouts. We then went to dinner at Mi Pueblos which was delicious, as always. Fred and his lovely wife Mary are great company.
Thank you, Fred, for the excellent seminar and the great conversation over dinner!

Motorists traveling west on Mileground Road into Morgantown will see it.
Under the co-sponsorship of the United Coalition of Reason, a national coordinating body, this billboard is part of a larger nationwide campaign aimed at raising the public profile of nontheists and organizing nontheistic groups in major cities. The United Coalition of Reason plans to fund…

Hey Everyone!
Monday afternoon we need to all meet under our shiny new billboard on the Mileground to get a great group picture! Which means we need YOU!
The time will probably be around 5:30 pm or a bit after, so that people can meet after work.
Email Neece or leave a comment letting us know you’ll be there. This is very important that we get this picture, hopefully with lots of people, so please try to come.
The billboard location is near Melvin’s Transmission on Mileground Road, westbound into town.
Here’s the map for the billboard on Google. The street view really shows you the situation.
Brent scouted the area for us. He recommends coming in from 68, not through Morgantown as the traffic at that time of day is pretty bad.
Drive most of the way down the Mileground, past the car dealerships, and the…
It’s time to choose a worthy cause to donate our efforts in the name of Secular Service! We are going to share our ideas at our next meeting then tally up which is most popular.
