My skeptical colleague Phil over at the Skeptic Money blog is attempting to get donations to the newly-formed Wichita Coalition of Reason in Kansas to hold their first FREE event – The Skeptics of Oz!
By the way, did I mention the event was FREE?! Yes, that’s F-R-E-E!!!
But Phil is doing more than that. Phil is literally putting his money where his mouth is because for the next week (that is, until February 25th) his company, Polaris Financial Planning, will be matching donations to help get this group and their event off the ground. Read more below (or at Phil’s blog entry), spread the word, and please consider donating…
**DONATE HERE**
