Dear Friends of Westtown Monthly Meeting,                                                          May 2026

     your “Quaker Ladies” have probably already bloomed in the yard, ready to share their seeds, as spring turns into early summer and the calendar reminds us of the approach of the end of the Meeting’s fiscal year in a few weeks.  A review of our budgeted goal for our Annual Fund indicates that if we are to meet our target, we ask Friends who have not yet made a gift to do so by using this PYM LINK to donate to Westtown Meeting or mail a check made out to Westtown Meeting here:

Asst. Treasurer Marc Dear, 1222 Mallard Road, West Chester, PA, 19382

     Simultaneously and with deep gratitude, we express our appreciation to the generous families and individuals who have expressed their love for the Meeting with the gifts that helped us to approach our goal of $42,500.  Many have given more than one donation. More than a few have been part of the Meeting for multiple generations!

     As practiced in the past, our Meeting’s budget includes allocations of grants to families for the Quaker education of their children, aid for those in dire circumstances, support for Friends’ outreach initiatives when they come to us for help, and projects we endorse such as reforestation efforts in Mexico.  

With appreciation,

Finance and Development Committee
