Only 50 Kits, But Still An Endless Impact

On May 2nd about a dozen mem­bers and friends of SHoWLE gath­ered at the Sanger Branch Library to put togeth­er some shelf sta­ble meal kits as part of The American Empathy Project. SHoWLE was award­ed a grant from the American Humanist Association to buy the food and sup­plies need­ed to build the kits.

Here are some scenes from the event 100 Kits, One Community, Endless Impact: an American Empathy Project. SHoWLE thanks all who par­tic­i­pat­ed and helped us build 50 meal kits on May 2nd. Next time we will do bet­ter with the logis­tics. *Note* We will be donat­ing 100 kits, the oth­er 50 will be built lat­er this month.

We Are Now Offically A Chapter Of The American Humanist Association!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Secular Humanists of Western Lake Erie is now an offi­cial chap­ter of the American Humanist Association

(Toledo, Ohio, June 7, 2018) — The Secular Humanists of Western Lake Erie (SHoWLE) had their chap­ter appli­ca­tion approved by the American Humanist Association.

Founded in 1941 and head­quar­tered in Washington, D.C., the American Humanist Association (AHA) works to pro­tect the rights of human­ists, athe­ists, and oth­er non­the­is­tic Americans. The AHA advances the eth­i­cal and life-affirming world­view of human­ism, which—without beliefs in any gods or oth­er super­nat­ur­al forces—encourages indi­vid­u­als to live informed and mean­ing­ful lives that aspire to the greater good of human­i­ty.

“This is a major foun­da­tion­al stone we need­ed for SHoWLE to have a chance at a strong start and become a sus­tain­able long term active group in north­west Ohio and south­east Michigan,” SHoWLE President Doug Berger said. “The AHA does a great job sup­port­ing their local chap­ters and it will be a great asset for Humanists in Toledo.”
