Are Your Meeting Contacts Up To Date?
|
|
|
Each January, the BYM Office collects updated information about each Local Meeting's Officers and Clerks. This information is published on the BYM website and in the Yearbook at the end of each year. However, we know that many Meetings have Clerking terms that do not correspond to the calendar year!
Now, Meetings can update their contact information with the Yearly Meeting at their own convenience. When your new term year begins or information changes mid-term, Meetings can submit new or updated information on the BYM website. The BYM Office will also continue to send annual information requests in January. Your help in keeping the Yearly Meeting records up-to-date allows Friends from across BYM to stay in touch with our big, beloved community. Thank you.

Plant Based Holiday Meals
|
Check out these holiday meal suggestions from the members of the Working Group on Right Relationship with Animals. Friends who are new to plant-based cooking might find themselves stumped when planning for the holidays. It turns out that not only does the joy of the season not depend on eating a turkey or a lamb but going the plant-based route can also be quite a time and money saver.

Annual Session Bookstore Seeks Books & Vendors!

In 2023, the Annual Session Bookstore will offer a Used Book Section. To help with gathering books, Friends are asked to search your shelves for new or like new books. You can bring them to any Interim Meeting or drop them by the BYM Office. The Bookstore is also in search of 2023 arts and crafts vendors.
