Mr. Harrison’s talk is “A Magician’s Perspective on Susceptibility”. Humanists are puzzled by people’s need to believe in supernatural agents and events, also known as real Magic. Professional magician James Harrison will tell us why people feel the need to believe in Magic in the 21’st Century. Be prepared for a very entertaining and informative evening!

Lots of Fun:
There will be a mystery game guaranteed to get everyone to know each other better, and back by popular demand: our annual Joke Contest. This year we will award bonus points for Humanist jokes, and the winners of the best and worst joke prizes will be determined by secret ballot.

More good news:
COHA and our President will jointly supply the food. To ensure everyone can eat their fill, please RSVP your guest count to Paul.Bassett@sympatico.ca, or call 705-722-3599.

Directions to Teresa and Armando’s Home:

As soon as you cross the RR tracks, turn left on Eder Trail (if you miss the turn you will see the hills and the parking lot), after passing the pond, turn left again and you will find the house at your left. It is the fourth house, a red brick bungalow with black shingles.

Don't beleive in God? You're not alone.
