Barrie Webster, President of the Humanist Association of Manitoba, will come and give a talk entitled "Humanism - a rich and enduring life stance," then answer our questions about humanism.  The talk will last approximately 30 minutes, leaving lots of time for discussion afterwards.  Barrie is a retired professor in the Department of Soil Sciences at the U of M, and has been a member of HAM since the early 1990s.  I think it will be great to learn from his experience; I encourage you to prepare some questions beforehand if you're uncertain about some aspects of humanism.

Time: October 18th at 4:30PM
Location: EITC E2-304

After the talk, we will have a short meeting to update everyone on how the group has been growing over the past month.  If necessary, we will hold elections--please get your nominations in as soon as possible!

I will be making some posters to advertise the event early this week.  If anyone is able to give up some time to put the posters up around campus, I would really appreciate it!

Also, Barrie has extended an invitation for everyone to attend the Humanist Association of Manitoba's monthly meeting on October 13th at the Viscount Gort Hotel.  The meeting begins at 5:30 with food and discussion.  At about 7:15, Wendy Jerome, Humanist and current interim Unitarian minister will speak on the subject of humanism as the underlying principle of many religions.  The meeting will finish about 8:30-8:45.

At the moment, I am planning to go.  I won't really know for sure until Saturday, but for the time being it seems like I'll be free.

I would like to go to the Humanist meeting, but I have a Stats 2 midterm seminar with Grant's. I can come to the UM MASH meeting, though.

The Viscount Gort Hotel is at Portage and Kenaston, basically.  If you go to Google maps and search "viscount gort hotel, winnipeg", it'll show you.
