Darwin Day Celebration

AN INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND HUMANITY

2682 Middlefield Rd., Suite P, Redwood City, CA 94063-3467 * info@darwinday.org * 650-701-1948

To: SSA Chapter Representatives,

Dear INININ,

Greetings from Darwin Day! Now is the time to organize your Celebration for Darwin’s 198 Birthday, on February 12, 2007, and to start planning for his BICENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY in 2009.

In past years the SSA Chapters have been an important part of Darwin Day by sponsoring Celebrations at their institutions close to February 12, Charles Darwin’s birthday. It is important to keep in mind that without Darwin the ideas of SECULAR FREEDOM would have been impossible because only 150 years ago, when On The Origins of Species was published, it was unthinkable to interpret scientific data in accordance with the natural laws of the universe because theology had a stranglehold on how scientific findings were to be understood.

Darwin Day Celebrations provide an opportunity for scientists, to interact informally with the general public in support of science and humanity. Most events are sponsored by existing institutions such as universities, colleges, museums, churches, and libraries as well as private groups, and now is the time to start planning for 2007 -- Charles Darwin’s 198^th birthday. Also, don’t forget, there are only 2 more years before there will be a GLOBAL CELIBRATION for Darwin’s bicentennial birthday in 2009! I recommend that you create a Darwin Day website for your activities each year – by doing so you can advertise your activities and build an important legacy of participation that will inspire coming generations. To appreciate and understand this idea, just go to Salem State College website that has been building a history of their Darwin Festival since 1980, at http://w3.salemstate.edu/~pkelly/darwin/

To see what others are doing and to get some fresh ideas, please take time to visit our updated Homepage at www.darwinday.org and browse the new section on “Examples on How to Celebrate Science and Humanity” towards the bottom of the page.
