Where and When to Visit

So far, the committee has focused on encouraging visits to the annual sessions of other Yearly Meetings in FUM. A schedule of annual sessions for 2007 is below. They generally occur as early as March and as late as Labor Day. Some last for a full week. Others last for a long weekend or less. Some Yearly Meetings also have mid-year gatherings that might be fruitful to attend.

For formal visits to monthly meetings, we feel that an invitation is necessary; so far, we have received one such invitation. However, some visitors have also dropped in to meetings when in the area on a more informal basis. The committee is still working to discern how to approach monthly meeting visits.
