Updated Clerk’s letter (Wednesday May 14, 2025)
Dear Friends,
We are looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I wanted to reach out before we all leave to make sure that you have a few key pieces of information.
First, here is the link to the schedule. There have been a few tweaks in the past couple of days. Notably, the agenda for Meeting for Worship for Business has now been added. We hope you will attend Meeting for Worship for Business and read over the agenda in advance, including the minutes from the 2024 gathering. Special Interest Groups are also now listed here.
All information for Friends joining us online will be posted here, including links to the schedule and zoom: https://viquakers.ca/whym/
Please contact Adrian Dolling adrian.dolling@gmail.com or Rachel at whym-clerk@quaker.ca should you have any questions regarding joining online.
Second, a reminder of some expectations. Friends are asked to abide by the CYM Community Agreement. As in years’ past, since Covid is still out there, please test before coming and do not come if you test positive. We are asking adult Friends to mask in the main indoor gatherings. Smaller groups can discuss among themselves, but we trust that Friends will respect the wishes of any Friends who feel safer with masking.
Third, Friends are encouraged to bring along some snacks to share at the snack time. These should be left in the small kitchen in Caritas (the building with our main meeting room).
Again, we are thrilled to be gathering again, please travel safe, and see you all soon.
In Peace,
Rachel

Clerk, Western Half Yearly Meeting
