UnitedCoR sends its condolences to the Atheist Alliance of America and the Freedom From Religion Foundation for the loss of two highly-committed and influential leaders: Chuck VonDerAhe, Jr. and Anne Gaylor.
Paying our Respects
Many events were cancelled due to physical distancing requirements. Some were replaced with online events using Zoom, etc. and a few presentations were recorded and are available for replay.
