Greetings, fellow freethinkers!
Winter weather is upon us again! And so another week of indoor events begins -- but don't fret! ISSA brings the party (or theological debate, or free speech activism, or... what have you) wherever we go! Just look at last week's Ask An Atheist! Outdoors or in, it went swimmingly. Photos for your viewing pleasure here.
Now, down to business...

THIS WEEK --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week's meeting will be at the usual time in the usual place: Thursday, February 14th at 7pm in Mechanical Engineering Building, room 253. Click here for a map.
On the agenda...
After a month of nonstop action, we're going to chill out with a movie this week. If you haven't seen "Jesus Camp", we think you'll find it pretty eye-opening. And if you have seen it, shhhhhhhhh! Some of us are waiting to see if Jesus shows up at the end!
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!
Board Game Night -- February 26th
Battlestar Galactica Night turned Board Game Night turned Board Game Night and Possibly Later Night, whatever that means... Come play games with us! All sorts of feel-goodery, 6pm - 9pm this Saturday evening in the South Rec Room of Allen Hall! View the Facebook event page here.UPCOMING EVENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Food for Freethought @ TBA -- March 6th
Food for Freethought is off this week, but we'll be back Sunday, March 6th at some location to be announced. Please note that we are now experimenting with new lunch locations on and off campus. To keep from spamming the rest of you with announcements, we've started an additional email list specific to Food for Freethought. If you wish to stay in-the-know, please reply to this email with a statement to that effect.
Unofficial ISSA Party - March 5th
It's official! ...Well, unofficial. Our next party will be the Saturday after Unofficial! Time and location TBA.
Greta Christina -- March 10th
We're thrilled to welcome atheist blogger, sexpert and LGBT advocate Greta Christina to the U of I campus! A few of our members had the honor of seeing Ms. Christina speak at Skepticon this year, and are raving about her even now!
Michael Shermer -- April 12th
We could not be more pleased to announce Michael Shermer as one of this semester's speakers! Mr. Shermer is very active member of the skeptic community, author of several books, including Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time, and even gave a rousing TED talk a few years back!
Open call for blog entries -- ONGOING
Got something [secular...ish] on your mind? BLOG ABOUT IT! Articles from members are always welcome -- email IlliniSSA@illinois.edu for further details.
...And much more to come!
Keep up with our emails! This is shaping up to be an eventful semester, and we want you on board.
