Yearly Meeting Gathering Expectations

We are a community of Friends living in the discipline of the Spirit. Attendees of all ages are asked to observe a level of conduct appropriate to Friends’ principles. Please take care that all behavior is bound by a respect for the sensitivities of all, including those of the host community. Remember that our individual actions reflect on the Religious Society of Friends. Parents and sponsors are expected to be actively responsible for their children at all times. All attendees are asked to help make a safe and supportive community for all, especially for our children. Any attendee may be asked to leave if unable to function within the guidelines of the community. Alcohol and illegal drugs are not permitted at Yearly Meeting. Recognizing the addictive nature of tobacco, we strongly discourage its use.
