Education Standing Committee Provides Funds for Kids to Attend Sessions

For the second year in a row, thanks to support from the Education Standing Committee, children entering 8th Grade and Younger may attend Annual Sessions for free! The Education Standing Committee has budgeted $8,000 for scholarships for children attending Annual Sessions, to cover the program fee, housing and the meal served at Arch Street Meeting House each day.  Additional scholarship money is also available for Young Friends and adults, so the cost of Sessions should not keep anyone away.
