Non-Believers Move to Hollywood
Dec. 15 Party To Celebrate New Presence in Media Capital


Los Angeles, CA-The Center for Inquiry-West has landed at 4773 Hollywood
Boulevard. This innovative new facility is not only an educational non-profit
organization, it is a community center for secular humanists, skeptics,
atheists, agnostics and other freethinkers. It is the only such facility in
the western United States.

Here to celebrate the move into Hollywood will be the editors of two
international magazines devoted to rational inquiry. Kendrick Frazier, Editor
of Skeptical Inquirer magazine and recent recipient of the 2001 In Praise of
Reason Award will join Thomas Flynn, Editor of Free Inquiry magazine, to
launch the Hollywood location at 8 p.m on December 15, 2001.

Skeptical Inquirer magazine is published by the Committee for the Scientific
Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), and is the world's
leading publication devoted to examining paranormal and fringe-scientific
claims.

Free Inquiry magazine is published by the Council for Secular Humanism, a
worldwide organization devoted to an ethical philosophy which is not
predicated on belief in anything supernatural.

The party is open to the public and will include words from both editors,
food, drink and music. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Festivities start at 8 p.m.
There is ample free parking behind the Center.
