CLUB
 The Ideas Club, which is more than
just a book club, meets to discuss important ideas in the philosophy of
humanism and freethought. The group was started in 1998 by the former Houstonians
for Secular Humanism (HSH). The meeting time is 10:30am winding up at
about noon on the fourth Sunday of each month. After, the
group goes to lunch, usually at La Madeleine
in the Village.

Fourth Sunday of each month

HOH
Ideas Club is held in Dr. Louis Daily’s family house at 1506 North
Boulevard. This is in the general vicinity of Rice
University and the Village. From the west side of town the easiest route
to get there is to take the Southwest Freeway (US 59), exit at Greenbriar-Shepherd,
go south on Greenbriar to North Boulevard, which is two blocks north of
Bissonet. Turn left on North Boulevard and proceed for 6 or 7 blocks to
Mandell. The house is located on the north side of the
street beyond Mandell and next to a vacant lot. There
is parking on the street or in the driveway of the house.
