Registration for this year's Quaker Women's Conference is open now. If you've attended the conference before you should be receiving the registration brochure soon. Registration deadlines are August 15 for the early bird special ($15 discount), and September 1 for the final deadline.

These may seem like early deadlines, but many thing need to happen after your registration is received.

Because this is a "participant-led conference," and part of the goal is to get to know each other better, after you register a conference planner will contact you about the active roles you may wish to take. Some are very simple (sing in the choir, fix coffee), others more complex and require stronger leadership commitment. Your level of participation is up to you.
To help us get to know each other, you'll get an opportunity to respond to a thoughtful Open Response Query by writing a brief essay. This is always a simple but profound way to explore your own experience in relation to the conference theme. You'll be asked to return the Query, and your response will be shared with other women as we prepare to attend the conference. Sisters of the conference say that it's a lovely way to meet other women before we even arrive. When we get to the camp we realize that we know these women already, from their essay. It's been wonderful.

If you have not attended before, please let us know you want to come. Send a registration request to registrar Sara Scribner at SaraBScribner@aol.com . We're getting excited. Look forward to seeing you in November.
