Quaker Potluck
& Dialogue
William Penn
House
Celebrating
40 Years of Quaker Service on Capitol Hill
You are invited to attend a potluck and
Quaker dialogue at 6:30 PM on
May 4, 2008
Our Program
this First Day
is presented by
Morgan Tipton and Staff of William Penn House
on
The Greening of William Penn House
Over the past few years, the staff of William Penn House have been
committed to transition William Penn House to be as green as a 90 year
old building can be. We have installed ceiling fans, highly efficient
heat pumps, highly efficient boiler/water heater, thermal windows,
recycling, composting and now we are moving to the next level. We use
Fair Trade Coffee, shop locally and reuse whatever we can.
Morgan Tipton, an intern from Ohio is committed to reducing our
footprint. Through research she has revolutionized our cleaning
supplies
where they are no longer toxic, no longer have strong odors, are earth
friendly, are inexpensive and the House has never been cleaner. Morgan
will not only describe her research and her choices but will have a
hands on demonstration of how the cleaning solutions are mixed.
Patricia Newkirk, WPH inspirational guru, will share her vision of
creating a rain garden in the back yard and installing a vegetated roof
on part of the property.
Our monthly
potluck is on the
first Sunday of each month at 6:30 PM.
This is an opportunity for fellowship among Quakers, attenders
and
fellow seekers. Bring a dish to share; family members, neighbors and
friends
are always welcome.
Note: William Penn House is an
alcohol and
tobacco free facility
William Penn House hosts groups
and
individuals who visit Washington
to help make this a better world. We host programs and seminars on
peace and
social justice issues and on Quakers, past and present.
