Coming up: 4th of July freethought picnic in Seattle

On July 4, HOW and the Northwest Freethought Coalition (NWFC) will celebrate Independence Day and the arrival of summer with a potluck picnic. All NWFC group members, friends and area freethinkers are invited to this all-day event on Sunday, July 4. There will be games, hot grills, and good gab!

The picnic will be held at Ravenna Park (2000 NE 58th St.) in Seattle, a convenient and large location that in recent years has drawn up to 200 attendees over the course of the day. The event will begin at 1 p.m., with the potluck meal (grill your own) running from 1 to 3 p.m. and a raffle and music by Jim Corbett from 3 to 4 p.m. Although clean-up will officially occur at 5 pm, we have reserved the park until evening, so you can stay and play for as long as you want.

HOW is leading the planning effort. Please contact HOW treasurer Jim Rybock (206-784-6541) if you want to volunteer or have suggestions for making this the best Freethinkers’ Picnic ever!
