SUMMARY:Zoom Call for Monthly Meeting Clerks and Quarter Clerks and Coordinators
DESCRIPTION:This moment in time is a stark example of why we have a yearly meeting.  None of us have had to figure out how to care for our meeting and Friends during an epidemic before. But none of us are alone in figuring it out.  There are 104 meetings and 10\,000 people here deepening and nurturing the experience of Spirit together. \nThe point is to bring our extended network of Friends together so we can share our skills and gifts as well as our questions and concerns. \nAs a clerk\, you are invited to participate in a video call on the next three Tuesday evenings.  Rather than presenting you with an agenda\, I am inviting you submit agenda topics when you RSVP.  In this way we can be sure that the conversation is the one you want to be having. \nThe meetings will be on Tuesday\, March 17\, 24\, and 31 at 7:00.  After the second meeting we’ll evaluate whether it will be helpful to continue past the 24th.  If we do continue past the 24th\, we will change to Thursday evenings to include Friends who aren’t able to participate on Tuesdays. \nTo participate\, click on the link or call the phone number below and enter the Meeting ID. The same information is valid for each Tuesday. Please  register to let us know you are coming. \nPlease feel free to join the call\, even if you are not registered! \n\nVideo:  https://zoom.us/j/596211717\nPhone:   (929) 436-2866\nMeeting ID: 596 211 717\n\nFor the March 17\, 2020 notes and more on Zoom\, go to the event listing at www.pym.org/calendar here

SUMMARY:PYM Worship & Care
DESCRIPTION:Institutional Assessment on Institutional Racism\nPresented by Vanessa Juyle\, The Institutional Assessment is a direct response to the events at the 2016 Gathering that encapsulates the long history of lived experience of People of Color of systemic racism among Friends. A similar assessment focused on Indigenous Peoples\, classism\, ageism\, and disability is encouraged in the future. We hope the results of this assessment may inform FGC’s inclusion of Friends from all communities.\nYou can read the full Institutional Assessment on Systemic Racism within Friends General Conference report here: https://www.fgcquaker.org/sites/default/files/attachments/IA%20Task%20Force%20report%20-%20final.pdf\n

SUMMARY:PYM Young Friends
DESCRIPTION:This program is an experiment\, speaking to the interest in service and witness expressed by Young Friends last spring at Continuing Sessions. YSOP is an amazing organization! Learn more about them at www.ysop.org. \n– The cost is the same as other Young Friends weekends\, thanks to support for the Youth Programs in the PYM budget. Scholarship is available\, as always! Do not let cost keep you from participating. ALL costs are included in the registration — travel\, meals\, and YSOP program fee. \n– Youth interested in participating should be prepared to travel to Philadelphia on Friday so that we can make the trip to NYC before the opening program begins with YSOP. You will need to leave school early and meet in Philly to catch a 1:00pm bus at the Greyhound Station.Travel costs will be covered by the Young Friends Program. We understand this impacts a school day!  It’s a holiday weekend\, and many people have Monday off from school and work\, which is why we chose this weekend. We will return to Philadelphia by 4:00pm on Sunday. \n“YSOP engages youth in meaningful service experiences through an innovative program that combines an orientation to the issues\, hands on volunteer work and reflection. YSOP is a Quaker organization\, grounded in Quaker values of respect for each individual\, simplicity and service. Our programs are non-sectarian. We welcome people of every faith and belief system\, including people who don’t ascribe to any faith.”  \n\nFollowing the opening program and dinner\, Youth\, Young Friends staff\, and Adult Friendly Presences will spend Friday night at 15th Street Meeting in lower Manhattan. The YSOP program continues on Saturday\, and Saturday night we will gather at Brooklyn Meeting with the opportunity to meet Young Friends in NYYM. We will worship at Brooklyn Meeting on Sunday morning before traveling back to Philadelphia.\n\nRegistration will be limited to 15 youth. If you have questions get in touch with Melinda Winner Bradley\, mwennerbradly@pym.org. \nFor more and to register\, click here\n
