Come
together with Friends and help Raise the Roof on Red
Cedar!
Take out your calendars & get ready for a celebration as Friends together on Saturday, November 4, 2006, from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
Michigan Friends Center invites Friends from Michigan and beyond to share a hot chili dinner on a cool autumn evening, followed by a concert by three extraordinary young musicians from Ann Arbor Friends Meeting: Eric Tinkerhess, cello; Antonia Silverio, violin; and Nathan Flanders, piano. Friends from Red Cedar will share information and answer questions about their progress toward a home of their own, including their hope of "building green," and a craft table will be on hand, so come prepared to do some early holiday shopping.
The event is being hosted by Michigan Friends Center as a fundraiser on behalf of Red Cedar's dream of building their own meetinghouse, and as a way of treasuring the presence of a growing community of Friends in Michigan. All food, time, and talent has been freely given, so all proceeds will go directly to Red Cedar's Meetinghouse Fund.
Tickets are $10-50 sliding scale. Someone in your meeting is probably selling tickets, but you can also contact Pam Hoffer (phoffer@umich.edu or 734-662-3435). Reservations are extremely helpful for planning. There has been a donation to partially subsidize tickets for those for whom the cost is prohibitive; we hope families will take advantage of the sliding scale.
Especially for GPQM youth, we will fire up the sauna and prepare a big campfire by the lake front, a short walk from the Center on the grounds of Friends Lake Community, which surrounds the Michigan Friends Center.. Bring a bathing suit, towel, and guitars for around the campfire. There is a beach house next to the sauna for changing.
This dinner follows a daylong program at MFC led by Susan Jeffers on how peace churches trace the roots of their pacifist beliefs in the Bible; see www.michiganfriendscenter.org for more information. Directions to MFC can also be found at the website.
