During registration you will indicate your desire to join us at Lazy F Camp, or participate online via Zoom.
As always, Quarterly will use a Pay As Led policy permitting people to pay more or less than the suggested amount, based upon their ability or needs.
Donations in excess of the registration cost of the session will go towards supporting Friends who are able to pay less. The remainder will go to the general fund for PNQM.
The costs for providing program and for the use of Lazy F Camp & Retreat Center are both going up. If possible, please consider a small donation to help PNQM continue the "pay as you can" option for all.
We have a few requests from our registrars:
- If you need to change your registration from on-site to online, or vice versa, please let us know at pnqm.registrar@gmail.com so we can adjust housing and work assignments.
- If you need to change your expected arrival time at the last minute, please contact the registrars to set expectations.
- If you will arrive late, please let the registrars know your estimated time of arrival.
- If you need to change your registration in any manner, or make payments, do so by returning to the registration form and use the "Resume" option.
- Register no later than a week prior to the event.
Quarterly will be a mixture of physical presence at Lazy F, and online presence.
Plenary session, meeting for business and community night will be "blended" (on-site and online attendance).
One interest group may be "blended", others will either be online or on-site only.
Worship Groups will run separate physical and online sessions in "parallel"; those present at Lazy F will be in one set of sessions, while those online will be in a separate set of sessions.
The childrens' programs and Junior Friends will only include those present at Lazy F.
We continue to work to remove all accessibility constraints for both physical and online attendance at Quarterly Meeting.
If you have accessibility needs, concerns, or suggestions please address them to the co-registrars: pnqm.registrar@gmail.com. They will share your input with the accessibility committee,
and provide answers or thoughts from the committee.
You can also provide accessibility feedback here.
We will attempt to provide links to any presented reports and minutes on the pnqm.org/virtual online access page.
Use this form to offer an interest group.

Does Quaker Silence Empower the Empire?

zoom host , leader Jonathan Betz-Zall

NPYM’s Anti-Racism Working Group [“ARWG”} invites you to hear Tom Kunesh’s Keynote address to last year’s Friends General Conference Gathering https://youtu.be/8h2ViUrZix4?si=N8JTgHDHpHe6mHHo in which he asks “Why are Quakers vocal when their empire is threatened and silent when the Empire’s chosen enemies are oppressed on behalf of fellow white colonists?” His examples come from his own Native American family’s experiences, but many others can easily be found. We will watch part of the video of Tom Kunesh’s presentation to the Friends General Conference gathering last year and then hold a worship discussion session to consider the implications. Friends considering attending this Interest Group are strongly encouraged to view this video in advance. [You can skip the first 13 minutes of introductions, and stop when he starts taking questions.]
