Greetings to other Quaker Meetings

As part of our fundraising activities, we are sending a copy of our appeal leaflet to every Quaker meting in the Yearly Meeting. The mailing consists of an envelope, the leaflet and to save paper, a pre-addressed envelope re-use label.

Contacting every worshipping Quaker group in the country is a special event, and Friargate Friends are hoping to send personal greetings to Quakers in other meetings.

On every envelope there's a small box, ready for a personal message. Today, after meeting for worship, Friends began writing their own greetings to Friends around the country. There are over 500 letters, so it will take us a few weeks to complete. But Friargate Friends are keen to use the opportunity to contact meetings known to them, and to meetings near and far. There's also a good number of oohs and aahs as names of Friends on envelopes are recognised.

A mailing task has been transformed into an opportunity to send greetings from York to other Friends around the country.
