March Meeting: 
“The God Monologue”

At our March meeting, we will watch “The God Monologue,” a performance by Julia Sweeney, formerly of Saturday Night Live. In the monologue, Sweeney humorously reviews her intellectual transformation from strict Catholic to secular skeptic. The tape also includes a hilarious introduction by Michael Shermer, director of the Skeptic Society.

Information on the videotape is available on the Skeptic Society website at www.skeptic.com/index.html.

Join us on Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m. at the home of Joy & Jeff Kiviat for an entertaining evening. Call (314) 469-2723 for directions.
