SUMMARY:Toronto SOS Group
DESCRIPTION:Secular Organizations for Sobriety\nSOS Group of Toronto is a social services organization of CFI Canada which launched in June 2007. A network of autonomous addiction recovery groups\, the program stresses the need to place the highest priority on sobriety and uses mutual support to assist members in achieving this goal. \nSOS recognizes genetic and environmental factors contributing to addiction\, but allows each member to decide whether or not alcoholism is a disease. SOS holds the view that alcoholics can recover (addictive behaviors can be arrested)\, but that ultimately it is never cured; relapse is always possible. SOS does not endorse sponsor/sponsee relationships.\n \nThe SOS program is based on the Suggested Guidelines for Sobriety\, that emphasize the “sobriety priority.” In order to change\, members must make abstinence their top priority; not drinking despite changing conditions in their lives. SOS suggests members follow a daily\, three part\, Cycle of Sobriety: acknowledgment of their addiction\, acceptance of their addictions and prioritization of maintaining sobriety. Members are also encouraged to develop strategies or aphorisms that strengthen their resolve to maintain sobriety on what SOS teaches \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lying to Children - Saskatoon
DESCRIPTION:Our December meetup will be in the evening at 6:30pm to allow for more of relaxed party atmosphere. This year\, we will discuss the issue of lying to children about Santa and related figures. Are there benefits to telling children these figures are real and having them figure out on their own that they are pretend? Should you always be honest with your kids – or at least about these myths? \nSome related links: \nIs the Easter Bunny a fraud? Does Santa make kids gullible? \nDebunking Santa Is Just Practice for God \nThe Santa Claus Lie Debate: Answering Objections \nShould Parents Perpetuate the Santa Claus Myth? \nGift exchange: We are planning a simple gift exchange of used books or other items. Please do not purchase anything new for this event. Wrap your gift and bring it to the meetup for exchange. Everyone will select a gift to open and then you are free to exchange with others. Let Brandon know if you are unable to bring a gift. \nDonations to Kiva: We have had a Kiva loans fund for a few years. Kiva is a program for providing funds for micro-loans – mostly to people in developing countries. We currently have $360.12 and have helped fund loans for 72 different entrepreneurs. Our number of loans and dollar amount of loans count toward the Atheists\, Agnostics\, Skeptics\, Freethinkers\, Secular Humanists and the Non-Religious team. If anyone would like to contribute new funds to our account\, we will collect those at this meetup. \nIf you would also/instead like to make a year-end donation to CFI\, we can accept that at the meetup or you can donate online here.
