Humanist Conversations: “Hot Coffee” Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens take advantage of our legal system. The 2011 film, “Hot Coffee,” reveals what really happened when Stella Liebeck spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort, and why. Refreshments will be served. |

New Haven area social dinner at Turkish Kebab House, 1157 Campbell Ave., West Haven . |
| Monday, February 20th 7:30 PM |
Monthly Meeting: Charles Darwin And The Meaning Of Life To celebrate Darwin Day, Dr. David Schafer will attempt to position Darwin in the scientific milieu of the mid-19th century, and demonstrate just how far, up to this moment, his Theory of Evolution has helped humanity in our quest to understand our own position in the universe and, in the process, to recognize what and who we are. We will start with coffee and conversation at 7:30 PM. David’s talk will follow brief announcements at 8:00 PM. |
