SUMMARY:Friends Folk Club Concert: Tish Hinojosa
DESCRIPTION:The Friends Folk Club is very pleased to announce a rare area appearance by Tex-Mex musician Tish Hinojosa on Friday\, October 13th. \nTish Hinojosa is a singer-songwriter from Austin\, Texas. Hinojosa’s blend of folk\, country\, Latino\, and pop has an undeniable far reaching appeal\, garnering her accolades such as a White House concert at the invitation of President and Mrs. Clinton and teaming up with artists such as Joan Baez\, Booker T. Jones\, Flaco Jimenez\, Pete Seeger\, and Dwight Yoakam.\nShe has recorded as an independent artist as well as for A&M\, Warner Bros\, and Rounder Records and has been a featured artist on Austin City Limits\, A Prairie Home Companion and other NPR programs. \nWith sixteen CDs to her name \, Tish’s distinct sound has gained her much critical acclaim. Her latest CD After The Fair\, released in 2013\, was recorded in Germany and is reflective of her 9 years spent in the Beatles old stomping grounds in Hamburg. Tish has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and continues to draw a loyal and growing audience.\nTish’s song\, Something in the Rain was included on the CD Songs for the Earth: A Tribute to Rachel Carson \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. \nTickets are $15\, and will be available at the door. Children 12 and under are free. Refreshments are available at a reasonable price. Doors will open at 7:00 PM\, and concert will start at 7:30 PM. The Oxford Meetinghouse is located at 260 S. 3rd St\, Oxford\, PA. For more information call: 610-869-8076. Email: friendsfolkclub@aol.com orhttp://www.mundotish.com/  \nCome visit the best (and loved) little concert series in Southern Chester County for over 20 years.\nThe Friends Folk Club is an all volunteer-community run concert series. Proceeds benefit the Oxford Friends Meetinghouse \n“Her songs are richly detailed with slices of life… Hinojosa is a strong\, poetic\, sensual\, and conscious voice.”\n– SPIN MAGAZINE – \n“A talented songwriter with an understated but utterly unaffected delivery…vivid…touchin g…pointed…playful…en gaging. A rare gift for melody that’s perfect for Hinojosa’s lovely\, relaxed soprano.”\n– THE WASHINGTON POST – \n“Hinojosa is an angel in cowboy boots with one of the sweetest purest songs to be heard in quite awhile. And when she sings in Spanish\, her voice has more warmth than that of Linda Ronstadt. Tish Hinojosa delivers music like an angel.”\n-HARTFORD COURANT- \n“The cultural diversity of Texas lends itself to fascinating music\, a style characterized by the natural blending of strong American South flavors with influences from across the Mexican border. One of the finer artists to hail from that backround is Tish Hinojosa.\, who exhales earthy folk portraits as effortlessly as she moves from Spanish to English in the lyrics of her songs.” THOMAS KINTNER

SUMMARY:Memorial to the Lost at Kennett Meeting

SUMMARY:They Being Dead Yet Speaketh - Marlborough Meeting\, Slavery\, and the Progressive Friends
DESCRIPTION:3:00 PM\, Saturday May 12th\, 2018 \nat the Marlborough Friends Meetinghouse \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the three decades before the Civil War\, Friends were unified in their condemnation of slavery\, but were often very divided on the role of Friends. Some became very active and embraced the anti-slavery society\, others felt that they were called to be separate from the world’s people and were alienated by strong rhetoric as being divisive and not reflecting the peace principles of Friends. Marlborough Meeting was split. The radicals held a series of Marlborough Conferences in the Meetinghouse\, followed by the Marlborough Riot\, and the establishment of the Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting of Progressive Friends in 1853. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome join us for a fascinating talk on an important part of Quaker History. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUntil his recent retirement\, Christopher Densmore was head of Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore College. He is the author of Red Jacket: Iroquois Diplomat and Orator\, co-author of Quaker Crosscurrents: Three Hundred Years of the New York Yearly Meetings and of more than fifty other publications and articles. He has been involved with and played leadership roles in many organizations\, including: Canadian Friends Historical Association\, Conference of Quaker Historians and Archivists\, Pennsylvania Abolition Society and the Friends Historical Association.

SUMMARY:October Quarterly Meeting at London Grove Friends Meeting
DESCRIPTION:London Grove Friends will be hosting Quarterly Meeting on October 21\, 2018\, with a special 200 year anniversary program. \nSchedule:\nRegistration 8:30 – 9:15  am\nChildren’s Program 9:15 – 11:30 am*\nWorship 9:30 – 10:30 am\nProgram: 10:45 – 11:45 am\nLuncheon: Noon – 1 pm\nMeeting for Business* following Lunch \nWe invite Meetings to share responses to the 9th Query–  Grounding for Transformed Lives: Peace and Alternatives to Violence \nAs has happened in the past (starting in 1757)\, Western Quarterly Meeting again will be hosted by London Grove Friends on third first day\, tenth month. As planned by a group of London Grove Friends\, an historical program will be enacted at rise of worship.\nOur first story will dramatize the (true but imaginatively embellished) trans-Atlantic courtship of Sarah Swain and Robert Lamborn. Their story allows us to reflect on the formation of Quaker families\, based on data recorded between 1722 and 1799.\nNext\, we will recall the Battle of the Brandywine. The Peace Testimony caused Western Quarter Friends to stand apart from their neighbors during the Continental Congress’ prosecution of the Revolutionary War.\nOur third dramatization speaks to the variety of opinions of how to end the institution of slavery that roiled monthly meetings in Western Quarter. Read aloud by a scholar of the life and times of Frederick Douglass\, we will learn Douglass’ intentions about a speech he gave on the porch of this meetinghouse in 1844.\nWestern Quarter Friends will not want to miss this program! We also invite interested members of the community (and their children) to join us for worship\, history lessons\, and lunch provided by London Grove Friends. Weather permitting\, there will be pony rides\, so the children can see how Quakers traveled to and from meeting in the 18th and 19th centuries. \n*Calling all children!\nDid you know that we are celebrating a BIG milestone this year? It’s the  200th birthday of the Meeting House at London Grove\, that was specially built to house Western Quarter! Let’s celebrate by creating an old-time festival for all of us to enjoy. We’ll have arts & crafts\, live music\, games\, food\, and a few surprises! We will need lots of  to help put it all together for the grownups\, so come to Quarterly Meeting in October and get ready for fun! \nOne more thing … please ask your grown up to bring along a quart-sized mason jar or large empty yogurt container (with lid). You’ll be making something yummy to take home and share with your family. \n  \n

SUMMARY:West Grove Friends - Funds for Haiti
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFundraiser for Haiti atWest Grove Friends\nAt Quarterly Meeting in July this year\, Alyce Denver shared her long-standing leading for supporting the rebuilding effort in Haiti. West Grove Friends will be having a craft bazaar & tag sale fundraiser on November 3 & 4 with the aim of securing a much-needed generator for Dr. Jeudy’s surgical clinic. On Sunday\, Nov. 4\, Friends have the opportunity to meet Dr. Patrick Jeudy in person\, as he is visiting the area\, and will be Worshipping with West Grove Friends at 10 am. \nBoth contributions to the sale and shoppers are needed. (see below for details on donating) \n\n\n\n\n\nWest Grove Friends are collecting donations of handmade goods services for a fundraiser to be held on November 3 and 4\, 2018\, at West Grove Meeting House. Proceeds will benefit the surgical hospital in Haiti that many of us learned about at July’s Quarterly Meeting program. \nThey are in need of much in the way of donations: household items\, antiques\, fine art\, crafts\, baked goods and homemade jams and jellies\, toys… and services are welcome too. Some examples already offered are: yoga lessons\, a B&B experience\, a special outing or story time for a group\, baking lessons\, and even a pie-a-month for a year.  They are looking for more\, such as knitting lessons\, an “organize your house session”\, a flat of seedlings in the spring – or whatever your talent or passion may be! Be creative in your thinking\, and join the effort.  On Sunday\, November 4\, 2018\, after worship service\, Friends and the public are invited to hear speaker\, Haitian Dr. Patrick Jeudy. Please contact Alyce Denver (email the EWM coordinator if you need her contact info) to arrange your donations. THANK YOU
