Who We Are:
We are a group of younger Friends, diverse in age (although mostly 20's - 40's), pursuits, and outlook who share similar sets of spiritual values and beliefs.  Many of us are out in the workforce, some of us are students, and a few are starting families.  We have some great social events: getting together, having a good meal, exchanging ideas, opinions, and maybe even dancing...  University Friends Meeting is a Meeting in Seattle, WA, and is part of NPYM. North Pacific Yearly Meeting is comprised of over 40 Monthly Meetings and Worship Groups spread across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.  We are of the unprogrammed tradition of Friends (particularly Beanite).
 

Reoccurring Events:

• We go out for lunch on the 3rd Sunday of each month. As of 19/08/01 we have gone to the 'India House' restaurant on Roosevelt Ave. four times, and grazed the University District Street Fair once.
• University Friends Meeting holds a  "Newcomers Potlucks" at least once a year for people new to the meeting to 'get up close and personal', meeting each other as well as members and other attenders.

Impending Upcoming Non-Cyclical Events:

    Do you know of an event that should appear in this space? Email it to Christopher Gwyn for inclusion in the next update.
 

Communications:
We keep in touch with each other by seeing each other at Meeting, going out for lunch on the 3rd Sunday of the month, and with the help of a listserv and group on Yahoo-Groups. (The Yahoo-Groups list is only for announcements - anything that is not an announcement should go to the listserv. Instructions for joining are at the Groups site.)

To be included on the listserv and participate in whatever discussions, announcements, or commentary occurs send an e-mail message to: listproc@u.washington.edu and put in exactly this syntax:
         subscribe quaker Margaret Fell
        (assuming, of course, that your name is Margaret Fell)
Do not insert any periods or other punctuation. The system should then automatically sign you up and mail you instructions should you wish to be removed from the list. If you wish to contact a person regarding the listserv, please send mail to: Jesara Schroeder.
