Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8: Workcamps Workshop
Technology and education are changing the way of the world, including the ways we can be of service and influence the world. As increasing educational institutions are adding Service Learning to their efforts, we are presented with an opportunity to explore howthese programs can explore the depths of the social and environmental problems we face, look at the complexities of them, and how we can break the cycles not only through service but by bearing witness. Quaker Workcamps were pioneers in this work in the last century. For these two days, we invite people who work with youth in any capacity to join us as we explore and create new opportunities for the future. Saturday from 9-5, and Sunday from 9-3. Pparticipants are welcome for one or both days. No fee. RSVP to brad@williampennhouse.org.
Friday, November 13 - Life in the Service, 6 to 9PM. We
invite you to join us for an evening of conversation with students from
the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. These students will be here to talk
about their dreams for the world, selection of service as a vehicle for
pursuing this dream, and what it means to be of service (people from
other branches of the service have also been invited). We look forward
to this being an evening for pacifists and people committed to a world
without war to listen with appreciative ears and to find common ground. $5 donation requested to cover the costs of pizza and drinks. RSVP requested so we can plan accordingly.
