Don't believe in God? You are not alone! The Humanist Community of Central Ohio is a community which values people, emphasizes reason, and focuses on this world.

Please join us for our monthly Gather & Chat... Let's discuss life and living beyond religious belief.
We'll make coffee and small snacks available. (donations will be accepted for coffee and snacks)
We'll have an ice breaker topic for conversation and then open discussion. It's my view that every person in the group has something of value to offer and we hope to see you there...
We are going with an earlier time slot 10am- 12pm but feel this gives opportunity for people to continue the conversation over lunch or coffee afterword if they choose to do so. We are meeting at Upper Arlington Library on Tremont in meeting room B - Please join us.
~ Looking forward to it.
Come out and join us for dinner and conversation! We're in the back room unless there's a special event going on. For more information contact Robert, afcm_om@inbox.com or 614-888-3601.

Tired of Twihard book clubs? Does “Fifty Shades of Grey” describe your complexion whenever someone mentions the words “New York Times Bestseller”? Now there’s something different just for you!
A sophisticated book club for intellectuals identifying as women, the Wo-Man Booker Club will focus on reading and discussing literature drawn from the long-list, short-list, and winners of the Man Booker literary prize. The goal of this book club is to provide a space for anyone identifying as a woman to come to discuss quality literature while socializing with like-minded individuals. Life’s too short to read bad literature!
The Wo-Man Booker club will be held at Stauf’s coffeehouse in downtown Grandview. Meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of every month from 7:30pm-9:30pm. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends, drink great coffee, and discuss quality literature in a relaxed setting.
We'll be reading "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga for our May meeting, so feel free to join us on May 14 at 7:30.
If you have questions or ideas, email Heidi at heidi.l.bretz@gmail.com.

It's time to give of yourself...donate blood and then replenish yourself by going out to dinner with fellow donors and freethinkers.
You can donate at the Carriage Place Donor Center from 4:00pm - 6:00pm, then dinner! (Dinner location TBA.) If you cannot donate, come and cheer on those who can.
Learn more about who's eligible to donate, and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. The donor center does prefer if you make an appointment, but walk-in donations are also welcome (so don't shy away just because you forgot to schedule an appt).
