There are always some quirks in the registration
process that Young Friends run into registering without their
families.
If you are coming
with your family then register
with your family. It may be cheaper for you as a family.
If you are coming without
your family, then you need to register as the Primary
Family Contact Person at the top of the registration form.

When Philadelphia Yearly Meeting gathers at DeSales
University this July for our residential gathering we can be a community
in a way that is simply not possible when we meet in Philadelphia.
At DeSales University, young and old mix at meals and in intergenerational
sessions and workshops. In addition to worshipping and doing business
together, we can all play together, enjoy one another's presence
and get to know one another in a fuller and deeper way.
Zan lombardo will lead a workshop for Young Friends
: The Pizza Rule: Walking the Talk. We agree to
the guidelines at every gathering…and then what happens? Someone
breaks the Pizza Rule. We, the Young Friends of Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting, in order to form a more perfect YF community union, will
diagram, sketch, concoct, strut, laugh and feast our way all around
the Pizza Rule and come out on the other side stronger for it.

Young
Friends will gather in much the same fashion that
we do for one of our gatherings. We will be staying in a designated
portion of one of the dormitories, with the support of Friendly
Adult Presences; Cookie Caldwell, Young Friends
Program Coordinator, Hannah Mayer, the new Young
Friends Program Assistant and Zan Lombardo and
Tim Mammel will also serve as Friendly Adult Presences.
We will join the community for many activities but much of the time
we will have our own programs. Those signing up for the Young Friends
dorm are expected to take part in the scheduled Young Friends program.
Young people may also choose to stay with their families and participate
in the Young Friends program.
If you have questions about the Young Friends program e-mail

A Highlight of the week will be hiking to
Glen Onoko Water Falls in the Lehigh Gorge (Friday 9:00
am - 2 pm ).

|
| Young Friends will choose a Workshop
from 3:00-4:30 pm, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Register for workshops when you register for the gathering
on the e-ply site.
You may pick any afternoon workshop that you want when
you register online. The Adult, YAF, Multigenerational designation
is a guide to you. Multigenerational workshops will have lots of
young children in them but the workshop theme may interest you.
I signed up for 10. Drumming up to the Light: Drumming as a Spiritual
and even Ecstatic Practice with Ben Singer (Multigenerational-Arts/Spiritual.
I think that drumming with Ben will be fun.

On Saturday during the 3:00-4:30
pm workshops there is "#7 Biking
to a Greener Future"with John Lavin. If you choose
this workshop you will NEED TO BRING A BIKE AND A HELMET. Most
buildings have bike racks outside that are sturdy enough to
lock bikes. You may want to bring a cover to keep your ike dry
if it rains. |
