And, third, note that many humanists are expected to be attending an event at Framingham State College on February 12 at 7 p.m. to hear author and philosopher Daniel Dennett give a Darwin Day lecture there. It's hoped that members of both the Boston and Worcester AHA chapters will have a chance to meet one another and enjoy a snack or drink afterwards.
