Hollister Knowlton, Speaks on Quaker Earthcare Witness

Tuesday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m.

Join us on Tuesday, May 4, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. in Whittier Room for a presentation by Hollister Knowlton on the environment, simplicity and spirituality.  Hollister is Clerk of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting's Earthcare Working Group, Clerk of Quaker Eathcare Witness of the Americas, and a member of the Policy Committee of Friends Committee on National Legislation.  Drawing on a deep concern for the Earth, she gave up her car and became a vegan in 1994, and is currently laboring to become a non-dairy "localvore" to shrink her ecological footprint even further.  Here presentation is open to the community at large, so Quakers and non-Quakers are welcome, and help us spread the word!  Refreshments will be served.
