Many thanks for having participated in previous years. We look forward to hearing from you again! It's our belief that the citizens of the world long to be involved in human progress. So, if we join together to celebrate those things that unite us, and use the tools we have developed such as basic scientific knowledge, intellectual maturity and rational thought, to solve our differences -- together we can build a better world. We have begun to notice that as we come closer to Darwin's bicentennial birthday on February 12, 2009, more and more colleges, universities, humanists, freethought organizations, libraries, museums, private groups and churches are joining the annual international Darwin Day Celebration of Science and Humanity! If you have not previously participated we hope that 2006 will be the year you join in the fun and informal education.

The staff here at DarwinDay.org has been very busy this past year and we are pleased to report that the Darwin Day organization has greatly improved its website and our ability to communicate with large numbers of people. This ability will allow us to encourage the development of many more Darwin Day Celebrations worldwide. Please take time to read the new information we have recently posted, and will frequently update on the Darwin Day homepage. We're currently featuring early registrations for 2006. There are also improvements to be found in most sections of the Web site. For instance, under "News & Views" we have recently added statements and essays that support evolution and the need to celebrate Darwin, Science and Humanity -- so do take a little time to browse!
