May 21: GPQM spring gathering will take place on Saturday, May 21, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Michigan Friends Center in Chelsea. The focus of the meeting will be on the business of the Quarter.

Natalie Holbrook from the AFSC Criminal Justice Office in Ann Arbor and Max Heirich from the Inclusive Justice Program will give updates. And we are happy to have both Michigan Friends Center and the Friends Lake Cooperative represented at this meeting by Steve Daut and Richard Tucker respectively not only to report but also to reflect on how to better collaborate with Quarterly.

Gentle reminder and note for those who are newer to the Grand Rapids Friends Meeting: GRFM tries to be aware of the health issues regarding fragrances added to products such as hygiene care (e.g.,perfumes, colognes, deodorants, aftershaves, lotions, essential oils, shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays and gels), laundry (detergents, softeners, dryer sheets), and items like scented candles, incense, plug-in air fresheners, hanging air fresheners in cars, and patchouli. Please try to use unscented products on First Day (Sunday) and be mindful about artificial fragrances added to the products you use regularly. Those of us who have serious illnesses triggered by fragrances thank you for your consideration!
