CFI Vancouver General Meeting
These
meetings are a great opportunity for members or people in the community
who want to volunteer. If you have contacts, expertise, time and
energy, please consider coming out; however if you attend, please be
prepared to offer your help in some way.
This event is free, as
no actual skeptical/humanist content is being presented. Our primary
goal is to give our members an opportunity to both have a voice in CFI
Vancouver, but al
...
so participate in its operation.
A
detailed agenda will be posted to the CFI Vancouver website and on the
facebook event closer to the actual date. Please contact us at
vancouver@cficanada.ca if you'd like to suggest anything for the agenda.
