 Hey Jeff,
Could you send this out on the NEYM listserv? Thanks, Emily

 Dear Friends,

            We invite you to take part in an exciting event for young adult
Friends.  As conversation is ripe about the need for Friends to come
together across the barriers of age and the branches of Quakerism, we are
organizing a week-long event where both can happen!  We hope that this
intergenerational, inter-faith dialogue will take place this summer at the
"Quaker camp" at Olney (in Barnesville Ohio, more details attached).

            This is a week-long gathering for Friends of all ages, and we
hope to have a strong presence of young adults to continue the work of
building community and seeking Spirit that we have been begun at the world
gathering of young Friends, and at the most resent "Building Sustainable
Community" conference in Burlington, NJ.  We intend for this gathering to be
somewhat organic, with the structure arising from those present and strongly
based in the leading of the Spirit.,  There will be a large amount of time
for worship as a corporate body, as well as in small groups and
individually.  We also hope to spend time as young adult Friends building
intentional community and playing together.  Finally, this will be a great
opportunity to share experiences, and hear from Friends who participated in
Young Friends of North America when it was active in the '60s and '70s.

            Costs are on a sliding scale, so don't let that keep you from
coming.  Some Friends will be headed to the FGC Gathering afterwards, so you
can definitely do both. We encourage you to consider joining us in this
opportunity of seeking, worshiping and playing together. Please spread the
word



Faithfully,



Andrew Esser-Haines               (esseran at earlham.edu)
