Snorkeling at La Jolla Cove
Sunday 10:00 am Join us as we don mask, finns and snorkel for a delightful swim in La Jolla Cove. 10:00 am. The water is wonderful in the cove and we have a great time with the fish, seals, birds and each other.
La Jolla Cove is some of the best snorkeling in San Diego. The waters are calm, very well life guarded, and generally the visibility is very good. Local fish are beautiful Garibaldi, sardines, rockfish and leopard sharks and seals and sea lions. Numerous birds are on the nearby rocks and fly overhead.
Some people wear a wetsuit, but many find this not nessary.
Showers and a changing area is just up the steps from the beach. The beach itself is small and has just enough room to set some stuff, but not really enough room to lie on a towel, but that space is available just up the hill overlooking the water.
It’s a terrific amount of fun and great exercise as well.
La Jolla Cove is an ecological reserve. Meet in Hillcrest between10:30 -10:45 for car pooling. We will hit the beach just after 11:00 If you like bring your own lunch and beverage in a non glass container, otherwise enjoy some lunch in one of several nearby restaurants.
RSVP if you can offer or need a ride. check our meetup site humanism/184
Southern California Secular Humanist Conference
Humanism: The Wave of The Future
Lunch and Dinner Included!
Humanism, America’s Finest Philosophy in America’s Finest City, San Diego. On the first Saturday and Sunday in February 5 join local, regional and national leaders in the FreeThought community for a fun filled and enriching weekend at the Mission Valley Resort Hotel in Sunny San Diego California.
The clarion call of the New Atheism’s rise has filled us with celebration, and has encouraged us to answer reason’s call. At this summer’s Midwest Humanist Conference, renown FreeThought activist August Berkshire has called “atheism the medicine.” August brilliantly completed the thought calling Humanism the “bedside manner.” As Humanists we realize our role and obligation as members of the human race. Atheism alone neglects our need and desire to participate in the lives of our human family.
Beyond disbelief, Secular Humanism fills us with the energy to look forward and progress ourselves to a brighter future by our own hands, unencumbered by fanciful beliefs in the supernatural.
Like a mighty wave, Humanism ushers us forward out of the depths of confusion and superstition. It has been our ethical and intellectual driving force for millennia. As it has in the past, Humanism is the exciting, evolving philosophy leading us to a brighter tomorrow. We look forward to you joining us in February for the first annual Southern California Secular Humanist Conference.
The weekend of February 5, 2011 Join the Humanist Association as we host this wonderful event. Enjoy speakers, awards, and entertainment, Sunday speakers and a light breakfast.
Dan Barker, August Berkshire, Ted Cox, Mr. Deity, Sean Faircloth, Tom Flynn, Jason Frye, D.J. Grothe, Bobbie Kirkhart, David McAfee, Michael Newdow, Roger Nygard, Roy Speckhardt, Jamy Ian Swiss, & James Underdown.
