SUMMARY:Hadley Fund Author Event- Long Hill Home
DESCRIPTION:LONG HILL HOME   by Kathryn Pincus\nBook Discussion with the Local Author \nExcerpt from DelawareToday.com: “Long Hill Home starts with a woman being attacked as she is about to start her ascent of a long hill to her home and loving family\, Pincus says\, ‘but it really is just a symbol for what the characters are going through in this book… that home is really a place of safety\, of love\, and it’s something we all aspire to\, whether you’re rich or poor\, wherever you live\, young or old… I think it is a platform to get people thinking about race\, prejudice\, the importance of judging people based on what they do and not what they look like or what they own.’” \nLong Hill Home is available on Amazon\, at Barnes & Noble and can be found in select local bookstores. \nKathrynPincus.com

SUMMARY:Hadley Fund performance: Sword of the Spirit\, a concert
DESCRIPTION:SWORD OF THE SPIRIT    with Magpie Music\nThe music from this concert is based upon the life and letters of Mary and John Brown\, abolitionists\, portrayed by Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner. \nJohn Brown has spent the last forty days of his life in a jail cell. During this time he has received many visitors\, given interviews and composed over one hundred letters to acquaintances\, friends and members of his family\, including his wife\, Mary. At rise\, Brown addresses the audience in the last “interview” he has agreed to give. He tells them his story\, expounding on his life\, his beliefs and what he considers his God-given mission to destroy the evil of slavery. \nFrom another part of the stage Mary writes to him from Lucretia Mott’s home\, where she has stopped on her journey to see him one last time. She also addresses the audience directly\, telling the story of her life with John to “Mrs. Mott.” Sword of the Spirit is a singular opportunity for the audience to participate as spectators\, as witnesses\, to this story of the famed radical abolitionist\, before he is taken to the gallows. \nMagpieMusic.com

SUMMARY:July 2016 Quarterly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Reaching Out and Reaching In for the Light in times of Darkness: Spiritual Listening\nHow do we respond to Friends in need?\nAs individuals?\nAs a Meeting? \nHow many of us  expect an honest answer when we ask “How are you?” How  many would be prepared for an honest answer that wasn’t “fine”? In the Religious Society of Friends we rely on each other for pastoral care. This July QM program will allow us to better understand what that means\, and lead us to explore ways in which we become stronger care-communities\, and how we can “listen each other into wholeness.”  Worship and breaks will be integrated into the adult program; a children’s program will run concurrently\, and we will all gather for lunch (provided by our hosts). \nSchedule:\n9:00 am check in\n9:15-10:30 am Program part 1\n10:30-11:30 Worship & queries\n11:30 – 12:30 Program part 2 & singing\n12:30-1:15 pm Lunch (provided!!)\n1:15-2:30 Meeting for Business \nChildren ages K-8 will join the Quarter’s new Youth Activities Coordinator\, Christian Garber\, for a morning full of fun activities. Childcare for the very young can also be provided — please rsvp to youth@westernquarterquakers.org \n2016 July QM flyer

SUMMARY:October 2016 Quarterly Meeting

Baltimore Pike) \nWe Think We’re Separate — When we think about all the things we don’t want to be associated with\, whether that is disease or child abuse or war\, we think that we are separate. We are afraid of being connected. We construct walls in our minds and our hearts to convince ourselves that it’s not us\, it’s not our problem\, that we are separate\, up until the day we can no longer pretend\, until we find out it is us. “They” are us. Humans try to pretend it’s not us\, that we’re separate. But God\, Jesus\, Quakers—all teach us that we are not separate. \nLunch* and fellowship will follow.  \n*Registration required for lunch — call 610-444-1012\, or Email: coordinator@westernquarterquakers.org \n\n\n\nAdult Program:\n9:00 am   Registration with coffee & tea\n9:15 am    Centering Worship & Introduction\n9:30 am   Program: “We Think We are Separate”\n11:00 am  7th Query Responses & Worship\n12 Noon    Lunch (Registration Required)\n1:00 pm    Meeting for Business\nChildren’s Program:\n9:15 am   All gather for centering Worship\n9:30 am     Children program activities begin\n10:45 am   Children & FDS teachers go swimming in Kendal’s indoor pool (lifeguard present)\n12 Noon     Children join adults for lunch\n\n\n\nHere is a short bio of Robin Mohr:\nRobin Mohr has served as Executive Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation Section of the Americas since 2011.

SUMMARY:Historic Meeting Worship Days -- Penns Grove Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meeting for Worship is held here during the summer months at 10 AM on the fourth Sunday of June\, July and August. \nPenns Grove was built in 1833 for a preparative meeting. Penns Grove Preparative and Homeville Preparative Meetings joined to become a Monthly Meeting in 1842. The meeting was laid down in 1952. Lucretia Mott attended the first Meeting for Worship held here. The many names on gravestones in the burial round seems to indicate a once large membership.

Diana directs FCNL’s foreign policy lobbying team and leads an effort to replace the current U.S. foreign policy paradigm of military domination and national superiority with a more ethical and effective one based on cooperation and mutual respect. She brings to FCNL nearly two decades of experience on Capitol Hill\, where she served as a senior professional staff member of both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee\, and earlier as an aide to Senator Paul S. Sarbanes (D-MD). During her time as a congressional staff member\, Diana coordinated efforts to overhaul the outdated Foreign Assistance Act of 1961\, improve oversight of arms sales and security assistance\, and promote diplomacy and multilateralism.\n\nImmediately prior to joining FCNL in August 2018\, Diana worked as an independent consultant specializing in advocacy\, political strategy and legislative impact. Most of her clients were non-governmental organizations and foundations working in the areas of sustainable development and human security. \nDiana also has experience in the executive branch of the federal government and in the nonprofit sector. From 1999-2001 she served as deputy director of USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives\, a cutting-edge unit designed to advance peace and democracy in priority conflict-prone countries. She also worked as director of public policy for InterAction\, an alliance of NGOs engaged in humanitarian relief and international development. \nDiana is currently a member of the executive committees of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network and the Center for International Policy\, and serves on the Advisory Council of the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area. She holds a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University and a B.A. in Russian studies from Amherst College.
