Dear Plant Sale and Bake Sale supporters,
Thank you so much for coming outdoors on such a chilly Sunday to support the Local Support Committee’s fundraiser for Quaker Voluntary Service! Although early Friends’ integrity testimony led them to abandon bartering and set fair prices for their goods, we regressed yesterday and took as much as we could get for our offerings and wow did you ever come through for us! Our total of $385 suggests there were a lot of just plain donations made as well as payments. You are very generous and we thank you!
Going forward, please consider being generous with your time and contacts as well. Would you like to join (or clerk) the Local Support Committee (LSC) or be a Spiritual Nurturer? Or can you suggest others for those roles? Do you know young people graduating this month who might be interested in serving as QVS Fellows in either the Boston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia or Portland (OR) houses? Or not necessarily college grads, and not necessarily quite that young?
After this year’s cohort leaves at the end of July, would you like to help clean or maybe even paint some of the 68 Bailey Street Boston House before the next cohort moves in on Labor Day? It’s near Ashmont Station.
There are many ways big and small to support these fine young people and their work. Please let qvs@fmcquaker.org know if you would like to help a lot or a little. And, of course, donations are accepted 24/7 year-round at the QVS website.
Thank you!
Katy Cullinan for the Boston House LSC
