SUMMARY:Early American and Civil War Music in Oxford\, PA! @ Oxford Friends Meeting House June 6th.
DESCRIPTION:Early American and Civil War Music in Oxford\, PA! @ Oxford Friends Meeting House June 6th.\n\n\n\nThe Friends Folk Club Concert Series welcomes singer Charlie Zahm back to The Oxford Friends Meetinghouse on Friday\, June 6th 2014\, at 7:30 p.m. Charlie Zahm will be performing music from pre-Revolutionary Days through the Civil War. Not just songs of conflict\, but fun sing-able songs reflective of the periods. Tad Marks is back on fiddle.\n\n\nCome witness this wonderful performance on Friday\, June 6th at the Oxford Friends Meeting 260 S. 3rd St. Oxford\, PA. Doors open at 7:00pm and starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and Children 12 and under are free. Refreshments are available at a reasonable price. Proceeds from the evening events will benefit the George Fox Friends School. Concert will begin at 7:30 pm.\n\n\nFor more information: Call (610) 593-7122\n\n\nThe Oxford Friends Meeting is a century old Quaker Meetinghouse with great acoustics\, no bad seats\, and that “spiritual vibe” only a historic space provides.\n\n\nCharlie Zahm brings the Spirit of the American Revolution and the drama of the Age to an audience like few musicians can. Whether he is singing the glories of gallant General Washington\, an ode to the great new ideal of “Liberty\,” songs of battles won or lost\, or just popular selections of the times\, Charlie calls on a robust baritone\, mastery of guitar (and other instruments)\, and a seasoned approach to the art of “entertaining” to provide a program enjoyed by all.\n\n\nWhile Charlie is one of the most popular soloists at Celtic and maritime music events in the Eastern United States\, one of his great passions is singing about our Founding; the struggle of men and women who sacrificed all-their lives\, fortunes and sacred honor (as Jefferson wrote)-to create a sovereign new land based upon principles of law\, governance\, and freedom that had long been denied them.\n\n\nWhether singing at an outdoor festival\, a historic site (such as Philadelphia’s Independence Hall)\, a concert or convention\, Charlie demonstrates that his vocal ability is rarely matched inside or outside traditional music\, and his mastery of the guitar is the perfect complement to his vocal performance. Whether singing a great old forgotten period song\, or some rousing well-known sing-along from the Early Days of the Republic\, in shows ranging from Philadelphia’s Olde City to the giant Spectrum\, Charlie entertains with a great respect for both his audience and his chosen material.

SUMMARY:Hockessin Meeting Fellowship Dinner with Bellydancing!
DESCRIPTION:Please join Hockessin Meeting for its next fellowship dinner on August 16 at 6:00. The program for the evening will feature Tapestry Tribal Bellydance\, which includes two members of the Meeting. Tapestry Tribal performs a unique style of dance created in America which blends traditional Middle Eastern dance with influences from around the world\, including Indian\, North African\, Spanish\, and Modern dances. There is no choreography; the dancers exchange lead and follow roles in a unique group improvisational format\, supported and enhanced by the traditional rhythms and haunting melodies of their live musicians. \nPlease RSVP to Anne Cleary clearyak@verizon.net. Attendees do not need to bring anything but their enthusiasm. \n \nTribal Belly Dance brings together women of all ages\, body types and backgrounds to experience a spiritual connection through artistic expression. The dance celebrates connection and support among women. It is not primarily about performance—participants dance\, first and foremost\, for themselves and for each other. The dance builds community as the dancers nurture each other in supportive companionship.

SUMMARY:The Quaker RE Collaborative First Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Four Friends with deep ties to Quaker Religious Education from four Yearly Meetings are feeling moved to invited others to join them in a Quaker religious education community of practice. We are calling it a Quaker RE Collaborative (QREC). We invite Friends who hold a sense of stewardship for the faith formation of Quaker children to join with us. \nThis includes: First Day School teachers\, Religious Education Coordinators\, RE Committee members\, Quaker parents and grandparents\, and others. Our welcome and our reach are broad and international in scope. QREC is open to Quakers across the traditional branches of Friends’ organizations. \nJoin the contact list of the Quaker RE Collaborative to stay in touch with their work!  Email Melinda Wenner Bradley to get on the list:\nmwennerbradley@gmail.com\nAlready energy is rising for a face-to-face meeting!\n This first meeting will take place Sunday to Monday\, August 17 to 18 at Pendle Hill in   Wallingford\, PA. We’ll begin at 3 pm and our program will conclude on Monday at 3 pm. Many of us remember the Religious Educators’ Institutes organized by the former RE Committee of FGC. We hope this gathering will reacquaint us with how beneficial it can be to share formally and informally with our community of practice. There will be 5 sessions with substantive presentations and discussions\, and a poster session to which we hope each participant will offer a contribution. View\, print and post an event flyer. \nPendle Hill will provide dinner Sunday evening\, breakfast and lunch on Monday\, and refreshments to sustain us as we work. Pendle Hill has 85 rooms available to us as of early June. We will draw from that reserve supply as long as it lasts. Pendle Hill has graciously made space for us\, but this is not one of their programs. \nCost for participants in the QREC Meeting: \n\nShared Room: $120\nSingle Room: $140\nCommuter: $55\n\nPlease register by August 4th to facilitate Pendle Hill’s planning. If you wish to stay Monday night\, you can register as a Sojourner with Pendle Hill directly. If several of us stay on overnight\, the conversation may continue with a serendipitous flow and format.
