Participant Brett Kunkle from Stand to Reason, who also deserves special thanks for initiating the event.
Participant Jim Wallace, Senior Pastor of The Rising Tide in Mission Viejo.
Participants Heina Dadabhoy & Andrew Hohne from AAR.

Thank you so much for making the event such a success!

We just wanted to thank everyone that made it to our past two fundraisers. We had a fundraiser at Gina's Pizza on Feb. 6th. Even more successful was the pizza sale we did on ring road on Feb 13th. We ended up selling about 7 whole pizzas total and we definitely want to continue doing this because this allows us to help bring events like speakers and movie screenings to UCI. Thanks for all the support you guys.

P.S. I know it's a little late but "Happy Darwin Day!"

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday, January 30 in SSL 129 from 5-6pm.

January 6, 2008

Oh snap, it's a whole new year! Happy New Year, atheists and agnostics. We've got a ton of stuff planned for this quarter. I haven't recieved the info about our official meeting time and location for Winter 08 yet, so it will be an exciting surprise! (I have been out of the country for the past three weeks.) I will update everyone with that on Monday.

The next OC Atheists meeting will be this Tuesday, January 8 at the usual place and time (IHOP by John Wayne Airport and 7:30pm!). Rumor has it that Ray Comfort of "The Atheist's Nightmare" will be in attendance. Hm. As always, we will arrange rides. Email us at aar@.edu if you need a ride!

December 4, 2007

Oh, this poor website had been abandoned again. =( But look at all the updates! I've added a bit about our weekly meetings under "About Us," I've added Anthony Marsh's opinion piece in the New U under "Articles and Editorials," I've updated our club events page, and I've added a whole slew of links to our "External Links" page! Whoo! Some of the updates are a bit unfinished, but they'll be filled out soon enough.

Anyway, this upcoming meeting will be our last meeting of the quarter! We will be celebrating FESTIVUS with Guitar Hero, DDR, and other assorted multiplayer PS2 games. Feel free to bring your own! Feats of Strength and the Airing of Grievances? Maybe. Also, some sandwiches and snacks and drinks will be provided! Bring some to share too!

Winter quarter's meetings will probably be on the same day and time, but different location TBA!

November 21, 2007

(I never updated the website for the "Jesus Camp" documentary screening, so here it is...just for archive's sake. =P)

October 30, 2007

*cough cough* Hm...I seem to have forgotten that we had a website.

Apologies for the lack of updates! How irresponsible of me. I've updated the info on all the necessary pages. I'm going to add new links to our links page as well! Articles and editorials from AAR members will be up shortly...just as soon as those start coming in...hint hint...wink wink...yes, I'm talking to you!

ATHEIST BAKE SALE! We'll be out on Ring Road right across from the Administration Building or Aldrich Hall or whatever it's called now. We'll be selling baked goods for some pocket change...or for your soul!
