LEYM Annual Meeting
The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held June 12-15 at Ashland University in Ohio.
Annual Meeting Returns to Ashland University in 2025
LEYM is returning to Ashland Ohio for another in-person Annual Meeting to be held June 12-15, 2025. The theme this year will be “Mending Our Nets: The Power of Becoming Whole” and we’ll be joined by Friend Pamela Haines (Central Philadelphia Meeting) who will provide the plenary presentation.
About the Location
Ashland University is situated in the charming small town of Ashland Ohio located about halfway between Cleveland and Columbus. Friends appreciated the compact campus, easy parking, centralized space for meeting and socializing, and good food. We also greatly enjoyed partnering with the Ashland Center for Nonviolence which was founded by the late LEYM Friend John Stratton.
We invite all members, attenders, and acquaintances of LEYM to join in the fun and worship June 12-15, 2025. Save the date now and look for more information about the full program and registration process in the next issue of the Bulletin.
What It Is – Our Annual Meeting
Every year, Lake Erie Yearly Meeting gathers from Thursday through Sunday to conduct business, worship together, and experience the Spirit’s movement among us. While the purpose of the gathering is to conduct yearly meeting business, the four days also include worship sharing, programs for children and teens (when we are meeting in-person), a plenary presentation, workshops, committee meetings, and many opportunities for getting to know Friends throughout the yearly meeting and from various Quaker organizations. Books of interest to Friends are available for sale. We are eager to welcome newcomers and greet old Friends. See you soon!
Who Attends
Members and attenders of LEYM meetings and worship groups are invited to attend. Visitors from outside LEYM often include staff or representatives from various Quaker organizations such as FGC, FWCC, and FCNL.
