Greetings, skeptical schoolmates!
...Hope this email finds you cozy and warm indoors! We'd tell you to pray for another snow day, but a fat lot of good that'll do.
School or no school, we want to keep your blasphemous brains engaged! Here's what we've got in store for you this week...

THIS WEEK ------------------------------
This week's meeting will be at the usual time in the usual place: Thursday, February 3rd at 7pm in Mechanical Engineering Building, room 253. Click here for a map.
On the agenda...
We're thrilled to once more welcome our good friend Phil Ferguson of the CU-Freethinkers! Phil will be speaking to us about the anti-vaccination movement -- a trend so mind-blowingly stupid and dangerous that every skeptic worth his/her salt should make a point of knowing the facts about it. Phil's presentations are always a treat, and we hope you'll brave the nasty weather for this one!
On another note, CLUB TEES ARE IN! Get yours ASAP! Only $12, cash or check. Please make checks payable to Ben Ostick. LADIES: We need your input -- would fitted tees appeal to you? If there's significant demand, we'll be putting in an order for some nice light-weight, slim-cut ladies' shirts. Please reply to this email with your thoughts on the subject and/or let us know what size you'd like.
ISSA at Murphy's!
After the meeting, we'll adjourn to Murphy's, as is our tradition. We welcome anyone and everyone who can make it, regardless of whether or not you plan to drink. It's a great chance to get to know us -- your officers -- better!
Food for Freethought @ Sam's Cafe -- February 6th
This week's Sunday morning smorgasbord will be held at Sam's Cafe (in downtown Champaign) at 11am, and we'd love it if you'd grace us with your presence! Just give us a heads up if you need a ride! Please note that, from this weekend on, we'll be experimenting with new brunch locations on and off campus. To keep from spamming the rest of you, we've started an additional email list specific to Food for Freethought. If you wanna stay in-the-know, please reply to this email with a statement to that effect.
