Regular HALVASON Meetings and Events

Membership Meetings

feature a speaker or moderator addressing a topic of interest to Humanists.  These are held the third  Sunday of each month at 2:00 p.m. in the Las Vegas Library Program Room at 833 N. Las Vegas Blvd., between Washington and Bonanza opposite Cashman Field.  For a map, click here.   Many members make this their primary humanist-related event. 


HALVASON Forums
Cancelled until further notice.
are held the second Sunday of each month,  at 2:00 p.m. in the Las Vegas Library East Meeting Room at 833 N. Las Vegas Blvd.  The forum is an informal gathering to exchange thoughts about different aspects of humanism and our relationships to our communities. There is some sentiment that this be a more social affair that encourages more identity and participation.

Humanist Association
of Las Vegas and Southern Nevada


HALVASON, 
a chapter of the
American Humanist Association,

is a nonprofit, educational organization whose main purpose is to promote humanism  as a viable alternative to supernatural and theistic belief systems. We serve as a forum for humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and other like-minded individuals in the Las Vegas area. We promote the Jeffersonian principle of separation of religion and government, the rights of nonreligious people in our society, free inquiry and thought, a naturalistic view of the universe and a reason-based, secular ethical system. Our membership is open to all like-minded people without regard to race, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical disability, or political or other affiliations.

Changes in HALVASON Programming
January is the month that the new room reservation policies go into effect at all Las Vegas libraries. From now on the public will be charged $30 an hour for the use of their rooms, and there is a limit of two hours per meeting. HALVASON has reserved our same speaker meeting room at the Las Vegas Library through June while we look for alternative venues in Las Vegas that can be used free of charge. Unfortunately, we don't feel that we can afford to continue holding our second Sunday forums at the library so we are suspending these until we can find an alternative place to meet. However, we will still be inviting members and friends to join us for dinner and conversation following each of our speaker meetings.
