August 4 Meeting
"Short of a large asteroid hitting the earth or a major pandemic,
nuclear weapons pose the greatest threat to humanity."
Our program couldn't be more timely! August 6 is the 65th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, and the New START Treaty is much in the news.
Our esteemed speaker, SMCDFA's own Greg Loew (Professor Emeritus at Stanford and former Deputy Director of SLAC) will review the numbers of nuclear weapons currently in existence, what they are for, the risks they pose, and the treaties which try to control them or reduce their numbers: START, NPT and the CTBT. Greg will take a look into the future to see if nuclear weapons ever can be eliminated completely.
Also, Shirley Gaston and the SMCDFA Community Service Task Force are asking members to bring the following items to the meeting for Samaritan House and Safe Harbor Shelter:
Bath towels (new or clean used)
Toiletries (razors, shaving cream, shampoo, cream rinse, bar soap, toothpaste, hand lotion)
Back to school supplies (new backpacks, notebooks, pencils)
Cash is always welcomed
Please join us, and bring a friend. Be sure to arrive on time, we always start with dessert!
