Climate Stewards

Climate Cafe: a place for support and to report

Written on:

Climate Witness Stewards invite all interested Quakers in Philadelphia Yearly Meeting to join us for for a virtual Climate Cafe: a place for support and to report climate actions (formerly Online Potluck).

We have found this format to be a supportive, spiritually encouraging and community building way to share climate action information and hope. Some Monthly Meetings have already designated liaisons to share information about how their Meeting is acting to mitigate the climate crisis. Whether your Meeting has a climate liaison yet or not, we warmly invite you to join us for the next online potluck to share both climate activities and needs.

Online potlucks meet quarterly so if unable to make this event, please consider joining us at a future event. The next Climate Cafe is at 7:00 pm on October 24.

New York Times bestselling author, professor and co-founder of Homegrown National Parks, Doug Tallamy, will speak at the Friends Village spring fundraiser, “Afternoon in the Garden”, on Saturday, April 13th, 2024 in Newtown, PA.

Dr. Doug Tallamy, distinguished professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, and co-founder of Homegrown National Park, will be the keynote speaker for the afternoon. Renowned for his groundbreaking research in the field, Dr. Tallamy has authored multiple books, including his latest New York Times bestseller, “Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard.”

Proceeds of the afternoon will support resident programming at Friends Village, a uniquely small and kind community for older adults in Newtown. A 501(c)3 Quaker, non-profit organization, Friends Village seeks to be a community resource for healthy and active aging with programming such as our free Senior Planet technology classes. Every ticket sold will play a vital role in supporting the community’s initiatives and fostering a vibrant and sustainable future for both Friends Village and our world.
