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

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.

SUMMARY:April Quarterly Meeting - joint program with Concord Quarter & Wilmington Friends School
DESCRIPTION:April Quarterly Meeting\nWestern AND Concord Quarters at Wilmington Friends School \n(101 School Road\, Wilmington\, DE)\nChildren’s Program (during Meeting for Worship and Afternoon Program for elementary and middle school age Friends) \nchild care available 9-11:45 am and 1-3 pm \n8:45-9 am Sign-In\n9-10:15 am Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business – for each Quarter\n10:30-11:30 am Joint Meeting for Worship\n11:45 am -12:45 pm Lunch for all\n1-3 pm Program by Dr. Amanda Kemp \n5 Steps to Stop Your Implicit Racial Bias\, with Dr. Amanda Kemp\n5 Steps to Stop Your Implicit Bias  \nAbout a year ago Starbucks Cafe closed every store in the nation to provide implicit bias training to its employees. Their training was spurred by an April incident in which employees at a Philadelphia Starbucks store asked the police to remove two black entrepreneurs who were waiting for a business contact. More recently\, Lancaster City Police used a taser on an unarmed Black man who was cooperating. This was caught on video and has spurred action. \nBut what about the everyday indignities\, harms and unconscious biases that go unnoticed and largely unintended? \nDr. Kemp’s Racial Bias Awareness and Prevention Training offers: \n\nTools to have productive conversations about racism;\nWays to recognize and stop actions driven by unconscious bias;\nGreater understanding of institutional racism;\n5 steps to make your businesses\, organizations\, and communities more inclusive and equitable.\n\nNote while this is an introductory workshop in many ways\, participants will be given opportunities to continue learning and practicing skills gained previously. Participants who have engaged in this work regularly will have much to offer those new to the work. It is an opportunity for all participants to expand the ways we know ourselves and each other.   \nRegistrants will be given pre-work to prepare for the presentation. \nRegister here (at Concord Quarterly Meeting event page.) \nWe also recommend the Stop the Hurt 5 Day Challenge or go to www.dramandakemp.com for Dr. Kemp’s book. \nFor more information on Dr. Amanda Kemp\, please check these links:\nFounder of Theatre for Transformation\nWatch “Make America Great Not the Land of Hate Again” Music video\nTEDx Talk “How to Lean into Conversations about Race…”\nwww.dramandakemp.com
