Freethinkers of Coastal Volusia

Ormond Beach, FL

Freethinkers of Coastal Volusia
Freethinkers, Skeptics, Humanists, Agnostics, Atheists, Philosophers, Intellectuals, Scientists, Explorers, and any open-minded curious people and those wishing to meet new friends are all welcome! We are a social group of open-minded people who share a general world view that is based on reason and logic. We plan a variety of activities and get-togethers that are entertaining and fun and are not limited to philosophical discussions or topics. The intention is to create opportunities for people to get together and make new friends. Perhaps some they might not have met otherwise. This is not a discussion group or book club where organizers talk about topics or present info. We can watch TED talks for those ;) We are not here to push any specific agenda or point of view. This is a social group to facilitate meeting new people. Members can also set up their own preferred activities and invite whoever they want, so it will be flexible and low key. In the past we have met up at restaurants, at the beach, at concerts, parks, on excursions or boating trips, at members’ homes for parties or game nights or to play cards, or countless other activities. We are organized as a social group to get together and meet up. Not really as an educational or informational group to teach or advocate any particular viewpoints or philosophies. Feel free to sign up, and also consider posting suggestions for what types of get togethers you would like to attend. We are responsive to the preferences of the members and love feedback. Welcome!

Daytona Beach Readers

Daytona Beach, FL

Daytona Beach Readers
Welcome to Daytona Beach's premiere Meetup book club, "Readers"! A brand-new and online OR in-person group for adults who love reading books/novels and discussing them over coffee or breakfast via Zoom or in person! If you love: reading, discussing books, and enjoy some background research, fun human interactions, and a group to share your thoughts with, this might be the group for you! WHAT ARE WE DOING? Voting on a book from a small selection ahead of each month and reading it. At the end of the month, we will meet online or in person and discuss; such as: was there a theme or meaning, historical narrative, the writer's background, the characters, how did it make you feel, was it a worthy read, and more! WHERE? Meetups are based in Daytona Beach, Florida. We will meet in person at Starbucks on LPGA by Margaritaville/Latitude Landings and hopefully they will be open by our first August meet. If they aren't, we'll meet at Foxtail Coffee in Daytona One across from NASCAR Speedway). FREQUENCY We read a book monthly (perhaps bimonthly if we pick a series or large book/novel) and meet to discuss it. SELECTIONS Book options will be voted from a selection provided before each month. As we grow, the selections will be provided months ahead. Themes will be varied and may sometimes be based on holidays. Currently, I am selecting the options but will consider every request submitted. BIRTHDAYS I've started asking for everyone's birthday so on that month, I will provide your favorite book as a reading option! GENRES I'm currently shying from political or hotly-debated topics since I'd prefer to start with a comradely atmosphere. Expected genres: history, fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy , horror, thriller, mystery, adventure, biography, and science. Unexpected genres: Romance (maybe February), historical political, manga, and fan fiction. BOOK AVAILABILITY Once a book is selected, readers can borrow the book from the public library, use an app, or buy it to read. I will try to be mindful and seldom select new books since that will limit the options of finding a free copy. Eventually, we might even start a reading train and share books. RULES 1\. Respectful Discussions: Be courteous and allow members time to share their thoughts\. Disagreeing viewpoints are expected but engage in a respectful manner and remember you can't always change someone's mind 2\. RSVP: If you're joining a meet\, please RSVP yes or cancel if needed\, even last minute\. Running late is fine; but\, please be courteous to those on time and don't request for a repeat of the conversation\. 3\. Read: Read the book before the meeting to contribute to discussions\. You are welcome to join us even if you didn't but you might not find the discussion engaging\. WHO CAN JOIN? Adults only: ages 18+. No children, no babies, and no toddlers. During our meetings, if your family pops in and out, that is fine. Why the age limit? Because we will be reading and discussing some books that contain sensitive and mature content and are not considered suitable for younger readers. EXTRA Please be respectful to all. We want this to be a fun, exciting, and possibly enlightening/philosophically-bordering group. Have fun and play well with others! We are NOT a dating group; this is a book-loving-and-discussing adult group. If people find meaning within each other, cool, but please don't give this group credit or try to change this group into that :) WHO'S THE HOST? *Insert instructional cassette with elevator music, turn in armchair to face reader* Hi, I'm your host and the creator of this club, Delia Krimmel. I started to love reading in middle school with Harry Potter. My favorite genres are: fiction, fantasy, thriller, horror, and some history. I'm also expanding. FUTURE IDEAS Working on a brand and merchandise! Proceeds will 100% fund the existence of this Meetup channel.
