forthright

delivers
> an important message. Invite a magician to perform, bring the whole
family,
> enjoy the good weather, and get a little publicity in the media.

> A CSICOP-sponsored barbecue will be taking place at the Center for
> Inquiry-International in Amherst, NY. An evernt will also be held at the
> Center for Inquiry-West in Los Angeles. Contact Matt Nisbet at

> bash in your area, take part in the fun, and be part of an internationally
> coordinated media event.
