I'm actually scheduled to formally found the Lafayette Skeptics tomorrow night with an acquaintance I met at TAM7, so this came a quite a serendipitous moment. - Don Riefler Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:54:30 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/711-start-up-skepticism.html#comment-10828 bigjohn756- Looks like you have to be a member to look at the schedule. I saw this message:"The Organizer has made this Meetup Group private" Our site for the North Texas Skeptics is: http://www.ntskeptics.org/ - tmac57 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:38:06 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/711-start-up-skepticism.html#comment-10823 I meant to include the website for Barbara Mervine's website, http://www.badalien.org/. She tries to help people who truly believe they've been abducted, offering skeptical and scientific explanations, for example. - GeekGoddess Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:07:53 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/711-start-up-skepticism.html#comment-10822 Our East Texas Meetup schedule will be found here. http://tinyurl.com/nw2u5j If you are interested and are in the area join us. - bigjohn756 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:43:37 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/711-start-up-skepticism.html#comment-10821 Naomi, I was in the audience at that panel, and it was great to chat with you afterward. My husband and I decided a few months back to start a local group, and through the advice of a member of the Skeptical Society of St. Louis, we started our club using meetup.com, as well. We have had two successful SitP meetups, each with a really interesting speaker. So far, I have found our speakers using google. You never know what people will do for you if you email them and ask them nicely! :) I have informally polled most of our members to find out how they found us, and I have heard from many that they had an alert set up in meetup.com to let them know when someone started a skeptics group! It is really worth the $12 a month. One thing I might consider doing differently is the name of our group. After a lot of thought and discussion, we settled on Louisville Area Skeptics. But a few of our members have mentioned that they were unfamiliar with the term "skeptic" as we use it. I wonder if "Society for Science and Reason" or something would better convey the nature of a new organization to the community? We are still new and growing, but the effort we have put into it has definitely been worth it. We have met a lot of neat folks, and we look forward to getting to know them better in the future. - Laurie T. Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:57:38 +0100
