Hot weather. Cool water. Hot topic.

We're having another pool party, so bring your water wings. We're starting early, about 3:00, and plan to start eating about 4:30. You might want to bring rafts and pool toys, if you have 'em!

Please bring a potluck dinner item, finger foods, drinks, etc. There'll be some grilled food and drinks provided--hamburgers and brats (along with some Bavarian sauerkraut)-- but It'll be an open grill, so bring something to grill if you wish. And hey, please come without if you don't have time. Your company's more important than your food. We probably won't eat till 4:30, or so, so don't worry about being exactly on time. After dinner, those that wish can settle down and have some discussion.

Oh, Kathy has asked us to be careful about getting the chlorinated pool water on the carpet and furniture inside the house, and would like us all to bring a set of dry clothes or make sure our swim suits are completely dry before coming inside to sit down. So let's be thoughtful about that. :)

Discussion Topic:

• So You Live in Oklahoma!
  
• Recent events in Oklahoma have again put our state in the national news. Sally Kern’s “Proclamation on Morality” and signing ceremony, and the 10 commandments monuments in Haskell County and the State Capitol grounds. Now, not nearly as well publicized is the fire-storm in Ponca City, with religious zealots threatening and boycotting the business hosting the Northern OK Freethinkers (NOKF). Our special guests will be David and Janna Broome, organizers of the NOKF and owners of The Daily Grind coffee shop where they meet.
  
• Future activities brainstorming.
  

Looking forward to seeing everybody,
David
