Louisville Atheists and Freethinkers March Meetup

This month (and probably next month) we'll be meeting at Ramsi's Restaurant on Bardstown Road. Ramsi's has set aside a private space for us during the meetup time. As usual, try to be there at 7pm if you want to order food, and Clara Harris will be doing her performance at 8 pm. We already have a few women who have promised to tell their personal stories, and I hope to have more. Impromptu commentaries are welcome, of course, but if you know you want to prepare something to say, please let Mikel know at her email address ( [masked] ) that you will be saying something, and try to give an idea how long you'll be talking, so she can best organize everyone's commentaries.

This month's keynote guest will be Clara Harris, who will be performing her ten-minute play "Good Little Church Girls," which deals with with what young girls are taught about being a woman in fundamentalist Christian households, vs. the reality of being a woman today.

Ms. Harris is an accomplished actor, singer, playwrite and teacher who has both appeared in written several plays here in town at Actors' Theater, and elsewhere around the country.

I'd like to use this as a jumping off point for giving the women of the group the chance to speak their minds. So I'm going to ask if there are any women of the group who came up through a similar evolution and would like to write a page or two about what they were taught to expect by religion and who they are now.
