Investigation Network met at Polermo’s to discuss our upcoming events and ideas. People signed up on Meetup.com to join in, (http://www.meetup.com/skeptics-136/events/218856730/) and several people brought toiletries for the homeless. You can find a list of needed items HERE.
Members of Investigation Network handed out flyers to the attendees as they made their way into Theresa Caputo’s LA show in front of the Saban Theatre.

On November 25th 2014, Investigation Network will host an “Ask a Skeptic” table at Santa Monica College for their Skeptic Club’s PseudoScience Fair from 11:15am to 12:30pm. We will be handing out educational flyers and offering students free books on the topic of skepticism.

On Sunday Oct. 19th, The Ghost Hunters of Urban Los Angeles provided an underground tour via the Red Line Metro Subway. We traveled down the Red Line from Union Station to the North Hollywood Station and heard about some of LA’s famous ghost stories.
Here are some photos from the event:
For our second meeting we started brainstorming ideas for the mission statement and the the new group name. We also decided to have monthly meetings and to rotate our meetup location to make it easier on our members who may have to travel long distances. People volunteered to be in the chair committee and after we chose our group’s name, we registered the web domain. It was an exciting day for all!
Here are some photos from the meeting:
This was our very first meeting and we had a wonderful turnout. We discussed what we all wanted to get out of our new group and planned the itinerary for our next meeting.
The fun of joining in the initial stages of this process included providing input that will make an impact on the future of this group. Be it socializing, field trips, rotation of meeting spaces, overcoming infrastructure issues (parking), grassroots skepticism investigations, consumer protection activism, exercising critical thinking skills, everybody had something to bring to the table, to add to the richness of our endeavors. It is this participation that will be a hallmark of the new group.
