Program
The program below has been changed slightly from that planned originally for Sessions in Somerset and Plainfield.
The program on Friday evening will run from 7:30 to 9:15 pm and both topics discuss matters that will arise in some form in business either on Saturday or Sunday. The aim is to provide an informal setting in which Friends can learn more background, ask more questions, and explore more aspects of the topics and experiences than will be possible under the constraints of a business session—plus enjoy a measure of entertainment and fellowship as we do so.
Greta Mickey will present from 7:30 to 8:15 on her work among Friends in Georgia. She has a travel minute for consideration during our business sessions.
From 8:15 to 9:15, Diane Keefe, Margaret Mulindi, and Christopher Sammond will together present on their visit to Chwele Yearly Meeting in April 2012. During one of our business sessions, the body will be asked to consider entering into a partnership with Chwele YM.
Registration
Because of the change in location, please register directly by phone with Powell House: 518-794-8811.
