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
DESCRIPTION:Western Quarterly Meeting in October is hosted by Kendal Monthly Meeting Friends.\nRobin Mohr\, of Friends World Committee for Consultation will present the morning program: We Think We Are Separate.\nSaturday\, October 15\, 2016\n9:00 am In the Main Center at Kendal (1100 E. 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.

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.

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

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.
