Join us for a vegan feast provided by members of Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s Working Group on Right Relationship with Animals. All the food will be provided, so you need only bring yourself (but if you feel moved to help, please contact Margaret Fisher at 1margaret.e.fisher@gmail.com). After the meal there will be a presentation and worship sharing about the effect our food choices have on animals and on the environment. The event is free. We hope to see you. Please send us a note about any other dietary restrictions you have if you plan on attending! The meal will begin at 5:30pm.

An afternoon showing of a movie about the carefully preserved Farm House from Tibet that will be installed at the Friends Wilderness Center in 2019/2020 followed by discussion, fellowship and dinner for those who RSVP. Because of limited space for the movie and discussion, we can have only 18 people. The movie will begin at 4:00pm. Please contact Sheila Bach either by phone at 571-271-6267 or by email (snbach@earthlink.net) to reserve any or all of the options. After dinner, weather permitting, a telescope tour of the night sky with astronomer Kevin Boles. With clear skies you may see a thin crescent moon after sunset, the planet Mars, double star Castor in the constellation Gemini, the Orion nebula, the double star cluster in Perseus and the Andromeda galaxy.
