To Young Friends Everywhere:

The 1999 NCYM-C Young Friends have had a joyous gathering at Guilford College, where new and old Friends came together for the largest attendance in recent memory. Each day we attended Bible study, meeting for worship and intergenerational singing with the adults, held our own business sessions and organized collection. Our knowledge of things Quaker was greatly augmented by trips to the Greensboro Historical Museum, where we learned Dolly Madison was born into New Garden Meeting, and to the Friends Historical Collection at Guilford College, which is one of the five largest in the world. During free time, we enjoyed singing, games, origami, swimming, swinging and visiting the Loch Ness Monster. In times both structured and unstructured, we expanded our theological vocabulary and discussed social issues. Above all we enjoyed increasing our circle of F(f)riends. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.

Thy Friends,
NCYM-C Young Friends
