Comment by Troy Gorsline on November 15, 2011 at 12:26pm: Hope to see everyone at the SWiFT social this Thursday. For those interested, I will have recall Scot Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch petitions. To keep the Atheist theme in this string, I hear a story about our Lt. Gov. Apparently, MS. Kleefisch was asked HER idea of an ideal Gov. I am told her response was a Christian Male. Yeah. Our Lt. Gov. does not think she should hold the office. Nice.

Comment by Kurt Bocksenbaum on November 2, 2011 at 3:54pm: There will be cake and ice cream. Other than that... go for it! If you want to bring something more solid like a lunch item, feel free. Anything goes, there is nothing forbidden. If you just bring yourself, that's great. Nothing is required.

Comment by Troy Gorsline on November 1, 2011 at 10:52am: Looking forward to the Topic Meeting this Sunday. The film and celebration should be a good time. If we are bringing refreshments, are there any requests? What is the usual fare? This is my first one, so I would like to avoid faux pax if, at all, possible.

Comment by Troy Gorsline on October 24, 2011 at 11:52am: Occupy Your Capitol National Event -Oct. 29th 12pm-3pm - I heard about interest for this at the social last week. Found this on Meetup this morning. FYI.

Comment by Troy Gorsline on October 21, 2011 at 10:06am: It was a really fun night! SwiFT is a group of really good people. It is well worth it to be involved. Hope to see everyone at the next assembly.

Comment by Kurt Bocksenbaum on October 20, 2011 at 10:27pm: We had a lot of highly spirited discussions at the the social. If anyone runs into Lars, ask him what he thinks of the Pope. I think he made his views known to the entire restaurant! LOL. For those who missed it please join us next time. You won't regret it.
