It’s Official – American Atheists are Coming to Des Moines in 2011!
Please be advised, I have today signed a contract with the Embassy Suites on the River (www.embassysuitesdesmoines.com) in Des Moines, Iowa, to serve as the host hotel for the American Atheists National Convention for 21-24 April 2011.
More to come, of course, but we will be issuing a news release on this fairly soon, stressing a number of reasons for choosing this city, the most important of which is rapidly growing strength and diverse dynamic leaders for Atheism in this politically crucial and interesting state. A number of state and local Atheist and freethought or humanist organizations in Iowa have expressed strong support for American Atheists holding the convention in Des Moines, and nationally known Iowa Atheists like Hector Avalos have also eagerly supported the idea.
We will have a great convention in 2011–with your help. Please keep me posted, as I will you.
Regards to all,
Ed B.
