Minutes of Baltimore Yearly Meeting Interim Meeting

Second Month 2, 2002

Frederick Monthly Meeting

I2002-1 Opening. Baltimore Yearly Meeting’s Interim Meeting gathered on 2/2/2002 at the Frederick Meeting House in Frederick, Maryland at the call of the Presiding Clerk.

I2002-2 Annual session. David Hines, Clerk of Program Committee, reported. The Committee recommends we change the site of our 2002 annual session to the east campus of James Madison University (JMU). David noted that we can use their facilities at the traditional end-of-seventh-month-and-start-of-eight-month time of our annual session. David reported that all of the space we’d use at JMU is in a small area with no public roads running through it. The per-day cost of JMU would be about the same as the cost of our year 2001 site. JMU is prepared to make a three- to five-year commitment to our group. The area of JMU we would use lacks mature trees; it has fully accessible rooms and outdoor paths. JMU requires use of electronic cards for late access to buildings. A cheerleading camp is to be held at a different area of JMU at the time of our annual session. Bus service to Harrisonburg is available; train service is lacking. JMU can ensure that our dorms are bunk free; they cannot do the same for our business. JMU has a number of food service options available.

The Presiding Clerk noted letters from individuals and Meetings in favor of the Committee’s proposal. At the Committee’s recommendation, we CHANGED our 2002 annual session to 7/29-8/4/2002 at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. We THANKED the Program Committee for its work.

I2002-3 Closing. We thanked Frederick Friends for their hospitality. We heard, corrected, and approved these minutes. We adjourned, to gather next on 3/23/2002 at the Richmond Meeting House in Richmond, Virginia, or at the call of the Presiding Clerk.
