What does FLASH stand for?

This is the name that our members voted for in August 2008 to replace the original Atheists of Broward County, although our non-profit status will continue to be registered under Atheists of Broward County, FL.

When does FLASH meet?

Members currently get together each week for free-thought socials in different locations in South Florida. The North Miami Meetup, meets the first Monday of the month at Starbucks at 18215 Biscayne Blvd. The flagship group, the Davie Meetup, meets every Tuesday at the Ye Olde Falcon Pub at 2867 University Drive. The Deerfield Beach Meetup gets together every Wednesday at Sullivan's Irish Pub at 4460 N. Federal Highway. Our newest group, the Palm Beach North Meetup, will meet for the first time on Tuesday, October 28 at Starbucks at 561 N SR 7 (441) at 7:00 pm.

In addition to the meetups, we also have other social and educational events throughout the year that are open to the public. Please check our Calendar of Events for the most current information.

Are there membership dues?

All free-thought socials and most other events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. However, joining as a paid member is strongly encouraged. We rely on the support of our members to make our group as dynamic and active as possible. Only paying members are able to vote in board member elections and on other issues that affect the organization.

Current membership dues are as follows:

Individual: $45/year
Family (2 or more in a household): $50/year
Retired/Student: $40/year
Monthly Supporter: $10/month

You can choose to become a lifetime member with a one time donation of $1500.

Are children and teens allowed to join FLASH?

We encourage skeptics of all ages to join our community. Many of the events we schedule, such as museum trips, picnics and charity work, are ideal for families to participate in. Children and teens are welcome at all ABC events unless otherwise noted, but they must be accompanied by a parent.

Why are some members known only by their first or last name and/or have their pictures blurred?

While all members of FLASH are proud to be free-thinkers, not all are free to express their disbelief. We respect their positions, and in order to protect their privacy and security we have abbreviated their names and/or obscured their pictures.
