Denna Joy and Stephen Rutherford are delighted to share the news that their son Elliott and Jessica Rose were married on November 11 in a small, simple outdoor ceremony.
The Peace and Social Concerns committee invites Friends/friends to join us at MovieLand/Bow Tie Cinemas on Wednesday, November 8th at 6:30, to watch together the newly released film, Rustin.
The movie is based on the life of Bayard Rustin, a black Civil Rights activist, a close associate of Martin Luther King, an advocate of gay and lesbian rights, and a Quaker. He was the architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington. The movie shines a long overdue spotlight on this extraordinary man who, alongside giants like MLK, Adam Clayton Powell Jr. and Ella Baker, dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.
Do you have input for Peace and Social Concerns? Are there issues you would like addressed, programs you would like to have? Please respond to a survey available on the RFM website or pick one up a paper copy from the table in the vestibule. Although we cannot promise to take on all issues suggested, we would value your input when we set our priorities in early January. If you wish to have a bigger voice, join our committee and be part of the effort! Link to survey below.
It's time to move toward our Meeting's goal of 100% participation in the November 7, 2023, polling.
Here's a link to a site where you can:
-- Confirm your registration
--- Register (if you haven't already!)
-- Request a mailed ballot.
-- Ask to vote by mail in this and all future elections.
Right here:

If you'd already asked for ongoing vote-by-mail, ballots were supposed to be sent today, so watch your mailbox.
Thanks
Peace & Social Concerns Committee
