I just thought I’d post information on a SAIU event tonight.

We’re having a Halloween celebratory trip to dinner and to see Rocky Horror Picture Show this evening, Friday, October 31.  We’re going to the midnight showing of Rocky Horror.  You can link to get tix in advance here.

The plan is:
Meet @ Shanti downtown (221 E Kirkwood Ave # G) at 9:30pm
Eat food, talk, have fun
(Possible go grab coffee/tea at Pourhouse Cafe?)
Go wait in line at Buskirk Chumley Theatre (114 E Kirkwood Ave) around 11pm

See you tonight!

This is a resource for old and new members.  If you want to contact our officers, or just find out who our officers are, you can find their information below.

President—Sarah Kaiser (kaisers AT indiana)

Treasurer—Eoban Binder (ebinder AT indiana)

PR Director—Bart Helms (bjhelms AT indiana)

Assistant PR Director—Aaron Rincon (aprincon AT indiana)

Service Director—Amy Conrad (conrada AT indiana)

Activism Director—Jordan Masopust (jmasopus AT indiana)

Program Director—Ashley Carroll (ashcarro AT indiana)

At our October 19 meeting, the Secular Alliance elected four new group officers.  They are:

Jordan Masopust—Activism Director

Ashley Carroll—Program Director

Aaron Rincon—Assistant PR Director

Amy Conrad—Service Director

They are charged with planning, organizing, publicizing, and running events for the group.  If you have event ideas, you can email them, or me (SECULAR at indiana), or post them on the forum,

The Russell’s Tea Party is at 8pm every Sunday. It will be located at the IMU in various locations—check the calendar to find out exactly where (you can also check the home page).

Basically, RTPs are a time to discuss philosophy, politics, skepticism, belief, and whatever else comes up.  The discussions tend to be pretty open-ended—even if we start on a specific topic, that doesn’t mean we’ll end up on the same one at the end.

Above is an image advertising the event, as you can see. If anyone wants to post flyers to help group publicity, let me know and I can send you the image above to print out flyers (you probably have a giant university print quota if you’re a student).

We came up with suggested chalking phrases for the group on October 5 at our Sunday Russell’s Tea Party.  These are group-approved—if you do this, you can put “saiu.org” or other group info by them.  Please refrain from chalking unapproved phrase!  If you have a suggestion not on the list, email SAIU or come to a meeting to discuss it with the group.

We have also chosen two “phrases of the month” for October: they are “Imagine no religion” or “Imagine no religion—we would all be free!” and “Question everything.”  These two phrases should have the website, saiu.org, next to them, and can also list info on our weekly meetings.

Other suggested, group-approved phrases include: ‘Does god exist?’, ‘Ready to think outside the church?’, ‘Science is fun!’, ‘Evolution is real/Gravity is real’ or ‘Evolution=theory/Gravity=theory’, ‘Is religion rational?’, ‘Let there be thought,’ and ‘Got doubt?’

Pictures that are okay to draw include: the Darwin fish, the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM at venganza.org), and the Invisible Pink Unicorn (haha).

Again, this list is always open to suggestions and can be modified, but please check first!  We want to represent our group in a skeptical, while still friendly, way.  Thanks all!
