Quaker Women's Group

The Quaker gals camp out was a great success; and there was consensus that we should continue to get together throughout the year (Sandy from Holland has offered to facilitate a women's history afternoon). This is an invitation to any gals not yet participating on the google group - Quaker Women - to get involved. To be part of the conversation just drop me an email and I'll get you signed up. I hope more are able to join us for future adventures.
