Now we gather monthly as a Support Committee\, which resembles a board of trustees. Our goal is to have representation from each of our member meetings and worship group at these meetings\, but all in the quarter are always welcome. \nIf you are even the slightest bit curious\, please join us on Sunday\, Sept 28th\, 3:00 pm at Kennett Friends Meeting. This groups is friendly\, flexible\, and excited to work together\, building community among our Monthly Meetings. \nFor Sunday’s agenda\, as well as other supporting documents\, click here. \n  URL:http://westernquarterquakers.org/event/wq-support-committee-meeting/ LOCATION:Kennett Friends Meeting\, 125 W.
