Wooo! The new school year started this week. Welcome back all returning students and welcome to all you damn dirty freshmen. We have a lot of stuff planned for this coming year.

Meetings will be held every Wednesday at 6 pm in Building 387 Room #101. The first meeting will be next Wednesday October 1st.

First up SURE films is presenting Monty Python's The Life of Brian on Friday October 17th at 6 pm in the Student Resource Building (SRB) multipurpose room.

The next month in Conjunction with the Secular Student Alliance and the Freedom From Religion Foundation SURE presents Dan Barker Co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and author of Losing Faith In Faith: From Preacher To Atheist and Godless: How an Evangelical Preacher Became One of America's Leading Atheists. Dan will kick off his west coast university speaking tour at UCSB on November 12th at Embarcadero Hall.

As SURE is a community service organization we are planning two events for fall quarter. We will be having a beach cleanup at some point and we are planning on volunteering at a soup kitchen downtown. We did both last year and had tons of fun.

Also on the horizon is Darwin Week next February for which we are planning a few special events.

This quarter is going to be a lot of fun, we look to have a lot of new people and I hope to see many of you at the meetings.
