Atheist Humour Comix Section

The SEA is introducing a new initiative at our Roundtables and events. As a non-profit organization, with funds only coming from memberships, we are encouraging members and non-members who attend these functions to help us offer more and better SEA events. These are strictly voluntary, but we encourage everyone to contribute to the SEA and Edmonton Food Bank.

TOONIE - Rental for the library rooms and other event venues, entertainment and games for the kids, and other additional costs cut into our meager general revenues. We would like to hold bigger and better family-friendly functions, but this takes money! Please give a Toonie (or more) to help offset our expenses.

TIN - of course, is to help the Edmonton Food Bank by donating non-parishable food items for Edmonton and area’s needy. Help US Help THEM!

Not a member yet? Annual dues are only $20 and entitle you to discounts on merchandise, events, and more.
