2019 DIRECTORY Dear Friends

2019 DIRECTORY Dear Friends,

It is truly a joy for me to be in touch with so many Friends—you who serve in your local meetings and on our Yearly Meeting committees. Throughout the year I request the information to create this directory, update our website and help newcomers find your meeting, and keep our database current so we can stay in touch with you and help Friends reach one another, both within New England and beyond. Please don’t be shy about contacting me to correct any misinformation! This year for the first time, we are not printing and distributing the Directory as we have in the past, but are posting the Directory on the website so that Friends can print their own copy. The Directory includes the contact information only for Friends serving on Yearly Meeting committees and in local meeting roles. For reasons of privacy and practicality, we do not publish contact information for all New England Friends—but if you need help reaching another Friend, please contact me at [email protected] or call 508-754-6760. Visit our ever-changing website at neym.org for news, events, and practical resources support- ing our life and ministry. Remember, too, to sign up for our email newsletter by clicking on the link at the bottom of the home page of the website. You can also find New England Quakers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please contact me and other Yearly Meeting staff with your questions and share your ideas to help us continue improving our support of Friends and Friends meetings throughout New England—and remember to let me know when information needs to be updated! May our shared service be blessed and fruitful in the coming year.

Sara Hubner, Office Manager New England Yearly Meeting of Friends

Directory of Friends Meetings in New England

This directory is for the use of members of New England Yearly Meeting, its constituent local meetings, and organizations with which the Yearly Meeting has formal affiliation, to enable them to conduct the business of these groups. It is not to be used for commercial purposes or for publicity, marketing, recruiting, or fund-raising. — Permanent Board Minute #9 August 8, 1992

Notes on Using This Directory

Monthly meetings are listed alphabetically by quarterly meeting. Worship groups and preparative meetings are listed under the monthly or quarterly meeting with which they are affiliated. If you have questions about the kinds of accessibility a meeting might have, please contact the meeting directly. For some types of correspondence, the most current mailing information for a meeting may be obtained from the Yearly Meeting office. The “meeting e-mail” is a permanent meeting e-mail address maintained by the YM office that automatically forwards to the current meeting contact person. This information is accurate as of the date of posting online; check the Yearly Meeting website, neym.org, for the most up-to-date information.

NEYM is a vibrant organization serving the needs of Friends in New England and the wider Quaker world. We celebrate all who are active in the work of the Yearly Meeting and invite others to become engaged! In addition to the time and talents offered by our many volunteers, we rely on financial contributions from our monthly and quarterly meetings and from individual donors to sustain our work. Friends can become regular contributors through the GiveMonthly program (neym.org/donate). Some give as little as $5 per month, others much more, according to their ability. Please consider whether you can contribute for the first time or increase your regular contribution to support the many ministries of NEYM. And if you wish to explore making a gift to benefit NEYM, your home meeting, and/or other organizations you believe in as part of your estate planning process, we’d be delighted to talk with you. Please contact [email protected] to learn more. —The Development Committee of NEYM
