Volunteers needed for fair season

Amanda — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:31:44 +0000

We need volunteers to man the booths and participate in parades this summer. If you’ve ever been to the Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade, the UW Street Fair, or the Pride Parade and PrideFest, you know how important it is to be available for questions from the public. You can be part of the highly successful and always entertaining “Ask an Atheist ¢25″ booth, or simply be available to answer questions about the organization and what we do.

Send an e-mail to seattleatheists@seattleatheists.org to sign up for a shift! Also, check out our volunteer page for other opportunities!

Our day in Olympia

Amanda — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:57:33 +0000

Members of Seattle Atheists and Tacoma Atheists gathered together on Saturday to place the new holiday sign on the capitol grounds in Olympia. About 15 or so atheists from Seattle, Tacoma, Lacey and Olympia were there to take pictures and document the moment. It was quiet and festive, and a Fox cameraman showed up to take some footage.

We’ll be in Olympia installing the holiday sign on Saturday, Dec. 12. If you’re interested in coming along and being in the photo, contact me, and I’ll e-mail you with the details. If it’s stolen or defaced, we have backups.
