****THIS SUNDAY MARCH 8TH*****

Pi Day! The wonders of pi and mathematics
For our potluck, we bring pies of either the savory or sweet kind! Our speaker will be Steve Thoreson, one of our community you may know from the longstanding Ancient Christian Study group.

Our Speaker: Steve Thoreson
Pi is irrational and the Greeks thought those were the weirdest numbers possible. They couldn’t comprehend how weirder numbers actually could be. A fifteen minute history of imaginary numbers gives some fun facts… but it’s really a thinly veiled opportunity to rant about the most interesting renaissance man
you’ve never heard of: Gerolamo Cardano.

# # Get Dirty for a Good Cause
From California Freethought Day:
On Saturday, September 20th, we have this great opportunity to join with other local secular groups and do some environmental work that benefits our community. Join the secular community, statewide, as we clean our lakes, beaches, rivers, and parks through California’s Coastal Cleanup program. After the cleanup, California Freethought Day has a treat for us: they are offering a $10 per person (with limitations) reimbursement for brunch! We can all gather to eat and chat after all that work!
Sunday Assembly Sacramento is participating and folks from other groups, such as Black Humanists and Non-Believers and Atheists and Other Freethinkers will join us. The Sunday Assembly Help Often group will be there to lead us. We will gather at the Reason Center at 8:30 am and walk over or carpool to the Ethan Way River Access adjacent to Cal Expo to get the introduction at 9:00 am.
Highly recommended:
comfortable shoes
long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants
hat
gloves
Please RSVP here and come join us on the 20th!
