344th Annual Sessions of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting

REGISTER NOW FOR ANNUAL SESSIONS 2024!

PYM Annual Sessions will take place at Haverford College on Saturday, July 6th and Sunday, July 7th. We hope all Friends will participate in a day-long program focused on attending to the Yearly Meeting’s business. There will be options to join online with Zoom, commute to Haverford College without staying overnight, or select from a range of overnight options.

Ways to join:

Friends who attend Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Sessions, but will not be participating in the FGC Gathering in the week before, can join in the following ways

• Commuter – drive or take public transportation to Haverford’s campus for our business and programs Saturday and/or Sunday. Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch are provided. Programs and childcare are available for children and youth.

• Commuter with hospitality – we are enthusiastically returning to the practice of home hospitality! If you are driving to the Haverford area and would like to stay overnight on Friday and/or Saturday with Friends, we will help you find a host.

• FGC Extension for FGC participants – If you have been staying on campus in a dorm for the Gathering, you may extend your stay for one additional night, using the PYM sessions registration.

• NOTE: dorm space is extremely limited for those who were not already at the Gathering. If staying on campus is paramount for your participation at Annual Sessions, please contact Tara Rubinstein: trubinstein@pym.org
