Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Religulous Movie Screening! Thurs, April 2, 5:00 pm

March 23, 2009 on 1:55 pm | In Events, News |

It’s that time of the year when exams are approaching, and we are all wrapping up another school year.
As most of the on-campus clubs, we want to take this time and prepare for the upcoming 2009/10 school term. However, we would also like to put on a final event that will be thought provoking and encourage discussion. So, we have decided to hold our AGM and Movie Screening event on the same day. Here are the details of what we have planned for Thursday, April 2, 2009:

1. Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Student Centre - Presentation Room, Lower Level
5:00 - 5:45 pm
The MFA is looking for enthusiastic and committed executives for the 2009/10 school term. If you are interested in being a part of the MFA Executive Committee, and have some exciting new event ideas or initiatives, then feel free to come out and get involved. The following positions are available:

President
Vice-President
Secretary
Treasurer
Media/Promotions
Community Relations

If you are interested, please send an email with a short blurb about yourself and the position that you are interested in undertaking to freethoughtcanada@gmail.com

We will also do a quick review of this years financial statements and success of our past events, as well as discuss some ideas for next year!

2. Movie Screening - Religulous (Bill Maher)
Student Centre - Presentation Room, Lower Level
5:45 - 7:00 pm (Followed by a discussion on topics relevant to the film).

“A range of views on the various world religions are explored as Bill Maher travels to numerous religious destinations, such as Jerusalem, the Vatican, and Salt Lake City, interviewing believers from a variety of backgrounds and groups, including a former member of Jews for Jesus, Christians, Muslims, former Mormons, and Hasidic Jews. He travels to Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, London and satirically preaches Scientology beliefs.”

This movie is very funny, but does cover some topics that may be controversial to some. We only ask that you come with an open mind, watch the movie, and then discuss the arguments presented in a respectful manner.
