Mott Memo | Spring Continuing Sessions 2026
The Mott Memo is a message for Friends in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (PYM) to know what happened during sessions activities. Some Friends reading this message joined online this past weekend, while others didn’t directly participate but still want to know what had taken place.
However you were able to connect this past weekend, we hope this update provides you with the opportunity to stay close to your community of Friends.
Friends are also encouraged to take the Sessions Survey, even if you did not attend Spring Continuing Sessions. Your feedback will help navigate these gatherings in the future.
